https://carrecalltracker.com/hyundai/NHTSA vehicle safety recalls explained in plain English. https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/26v452000/https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/26v452000/Tue, 14 Jul 2026 00:00:00 +0000Hyundai found that the seat belt buckle for the middle rear seat may not hold a passenger properly in a crash. Someone belted into that center spot might not be restrained the way the belt is supposed to restrain them, so they could be hurt more badly in a collision. Hyundai is telling owners that nobody should sit in the rear center seat until the fix is done. A dealer will replace the buckle assembly at no charge. https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/26v432000/https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/26v432000/Thu, 02 Jul 2026 00:00:00 +0000Inside the big battery that powers your Ioniq 5, some of the cells were built with parts that do not line up correctly. Over time that flaw can start a fire, whether the car is parked or being driven. Until a dealer replaces the battery, Hyundai says to park outdoors and away from buildings, and to charge the car only to 80 percent instead of full. The new battery costs you nothing. Owner letters are due to go out August 31, 2026. https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/26v400000/https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/26v400000/Wed, 24 Jun 2026 00:00:00 +0000A software mistake can make the instrument panel — the display right behind the steering wheel — go blank. That is where your speedometer and warning lights live, so you could be driving without knowing how fast you are going or whether the car is trying to warn you about something. Hyundai will fix it with a software update sent to the vehicle over the air, or a dealer can install it for free. https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/26v316000/https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/26v316000/Tue, 19 May 2026 00:00:00 +0000On certain Santa Cruz and Tucson models, including the hybrid and plug-in hybrid versions, the software in the front cameras can misread the road ahead. The automatic emergency braking system may then kick in too early and hit the brakes when there is nothing there. That sudden stop can surprise you and the drivers behind you. Dealers will install updated front camera software at no charge. Hyundai expects to mail owner notification letters on July 17, 2026. https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/26v314000/https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/26v314000/Tue, 19 May 2026 00:00:00 +0000The bolts and nuts that hold the rear suspension together on some 2025 Hyundai Ioniq 5 and 2026 Ioniq 9 vehicles can work loose and come out. The suspension is what attaches the rear wheels to the car and keeps them lined up correctly. If those fasteners fall out, a rear wheel can shift out of position and the driver can lose control of the car. This can happen suddenly, with little or no warning beforehand. https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/26v308000/https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/26v308000/Fri, 15 May 2026 00:00:00 +0000The hybrid power control unit, the box that manages electricity between the battery and the motor, can overheat on some 2024 through 2026 Hyundai Elantra Hybrids. Overheating raises the risk of a fire. The fix is a free software update at the dealer that keeps the unit from getting too hot. Hyundai mailed letters to owners on July 3, 2026, and affected vehicle numbers have been searchable on the government recall site since May 16, 2026. https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/26v254000/https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/26v254000/Tue, 21 Apr 2026 00:00:00 +0000Crash sensors mounted in the pillar beside the front doors may have been put together incorrectly on certain Elantra N, Elantra, Tucson, Tucson Hybrid and Tucson Plug-In Hybrid vehicles. A sensor that was not assembled right can be slow to tell the airbags to inflate in a crash. Airbags that go off later than they should may not protect the people inside as well. Dealers will inspect the sensors and replace them if necessary. https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/26v218000/https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/26v218000/Mon, 06 Apr 2026 00:00:00 +0000On certain Hyundai Ioniq 6, Santa Fe, Santa Fe Hybrid and Genesis G90 vehicles, the anchor that holds the driver's or front passenger's seat belt to the car can come loose and detach. If that happens, the seat belt cannot hold the person in place during a crash, so it will not protect them the way it should. Dealers will inspect the anchors and either reinforce or replace them at no charge. https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/26v068000/https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/26v068000/Fri, 06 Feb 2026 00:00:00 +0000A part inside the high-voltage battery pack, called a bus bar, may not have been tightened properly. A loose connection there can cause an electrical short, and Hyundai says that raises the risk of a fire. A dealer will check the bus bar bolts and tighten them, and will replace the entire battery pack if that turns out to be necessary. The work is free. Hyundai mailed owner letters on April 3, 2026, and VINs became searchable February 7, 2026. https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/26v047000/https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/26v047000/Tue, 27 Jan 2026 00:00:00 +0000A software error can make the screen behind your steering wheel fail. That screen shows how fast you are going and the warning lights that tell you when something is wrong with the car. If it goes blank, you are driving without your speedometer and without any warning lights. Hyundai fixes this with a software update that may install itself over the air, or a dealer can load it for you at no charge. https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/26v034000/https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/26v034000/Fri, 23 Jan 2026 00:00:00 +0000The side curtain airbags that protect people in the third row may not inflate the way they should in a crash. These airbags are meant to help keep passengers from being thrown out of the vehicle through a side window, and testing showed these vehicles do not meet the federal rule for that protection. Hyundai will fix it by putting a protective film on the rear window and taking out padding where needed. The free repair is being rolled out in stages through the end of 2026. https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/25v893000/https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/25v893000/Fri, 19 Dec 2025 00:00:00 +0000This affects Tucsons with the optional Mobis tow hitch wiring. The wiring may have been put in wrong, which lets water get into its control box. The moisture inside can stop the trailer lights from working, so drivers behind you cannot see your brake and turn signals, and it can also make the electricity short out and start a fire. The dealer takes the trailer wiring out and puts a dust cap over the socket, free of charge. https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/25v808000/https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/25v808000/Fri, 21 Nov 2025 00:00:00 +0000On these Santa Fe and Santa Fe Hybrid SUVs, the backup camera may not have been put in correctly at the factory. The bad fit can damage the wiring behind it, and then the camera picture does not show up on your dashboard screen when you shift into reverse. Without that view you cannot see people, pets, or objects directly behind the SUV. Dealers will replace the camera wiring at no charge to you. https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/25v809000/https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/25v809000/Fri, 21 Nov 2025 00:00:00 +0000On certain 2025 Hyundai Tucson, 2025-2026 Santa Cruz, Santa Fe and Santa Fe Hybrid, and 2026 Genesis GV70 vehicles, the side curtain airbags may not have been installed properly. These are the airbags that drop down from above the side windows to protect people's heads in a crash. If they were put in wrong, they may not open the way they are supposed to. That means you could be hurt more seriously if you are in a crash. https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/25v796000/https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/25v796000/Tue, 18 Nov 2025 00:00:00 +0000On certain Sonata sedans, a damaged check valve can let air get into the fuel tank. The tank then swells up and can touch hot exhaust parts underneath the car, which melts the plastic. A melted tank can leak gasoline. Dealers will inspect and replace the check valve, look over the fuel tank and replace it if it is damaged, and also check and update the engine computer software. All of this work is done at no cost to you. https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/25v797000/https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/25v797000/Tue, 18 Nov 2025 00:00:00 +0000The retractor is the spool hidden in the pillar beside your seat that lets the seat belt pull out and winds it back in. On some 2025 Hyundai IONIQ 5 vehicles, the driver and front passenger retractors may not be fastened down securely. A retractor that is loose may not lock and hold you in place during a crash, so the belt would not protect you the way it is designed to. Hyundai dealers check and secure them free. https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/25v659000/https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/25v659000/Thu, 02 Oct 2025 00:00:00 +0000On some Santa Fe SUVs, the protective cover over the positive battery terminal on the starter motor may not have been installed correctly at the factory. That cover keeps the live terminal from touching other metal parts. If the cover is not on properly and the vehicle is in a crash, the wiring can short out, and a short can start a fire. A dealer will inspect the cover and reinstall it if needed, free of charge. https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/25v607000/https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/25v607000/Fri, 12 Sep 2025 00:00:00 +0000The seat belt buckles for the driver, the front passenger, and the second-row window seats may fail to lock the belt in place. A belt that is not truly latched will not hold a person properly in a crash. Until the parts are replaced, Hyundai says to push the belt into the buckle firmly with one quick motion, then tug on the belt to be sure it is locked. Dealers will replace the buckles free; replacement letters begin June 2026. https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/25v605000/https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/25v605000/Fri, 12 Sep 2025 00:00:00 +0000On some 2025 Hyundai IONIQ 5 electric vehicles, bolts that hold the rear suspension alignment in place may not have been tightened properly at the factory. If those bolts are loose, the rear wheels can shift out of position and the car can lose stability — meaning it may not track or handle the way you expect. The dealer will replace the bolts, realign the wheels, and replace the tires if they were worn unevenly. https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/25v606000/https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/25v606000/Fri, 12 Sep 2025 00:00:00 +0000On these electric IONIQ 6 cars, the small door that covers the charging port can come off the car. If it detaches while you are driving, it becomes debris in the road that another driver could hit or swerve to avoid, which can cause a crash. The fix is simple and quick: the dealer applies adhesive to the charging port door assembly so the panel stays put, and it costs you nothing. https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/25v549000/https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/25v549000/Tue, 26 Aug 2025 00:00:00 +0000Bolts that hold the connecting rods inside the engine may not have been tightened enough at the factory. That can damage the engine and make the vehicle lose power while you are driving — possibly in traffic, with no warning. The damage can also let oil leak out onto hot engine parts, which can start a fire under the hood. Because the engine itself can be ruined, the dealer replaces the whole engine at no cost. https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/25v482000/https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/25v482000/Thu, 24 Jul 2025 00:00:00 +0000Inside the big battery that powers the car, a metal connector called a bus bar may not have been tightened enough. A loose connection can cause an electrical short, and a short in the battery can start a fire. Until the car is repaired, Hyundai says to park it outside and away from buildings. A dealer will inspect the battery system and fix whatever needs fixing at no cost to you. https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/25v373000/https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/25v373000/Tue, 03 Jun 2025 00:00:00 +0000Certain 2025 IONIQ 5 vehicles have the wrong headlight aim label on the right-side headlight. That label is used to set the headlight angle, so the headlights may end up pointed incorrectly. Poorly aimed headlights do not light up the road properly, making it harder to see at night. Because of the wrong label, these vehicles do not meet the federal safety standard for lamps and reflectors. Hyundai will mail owners a corrected label with instructions. https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/25v291000/https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/25v291000/Tue, 06 May 2025 00:00:00 +0000A controller for the electric oil pump in your Palisade is not sealed well enough. Moisture can get inside and build up on the circuit board, causing an electrical short that can start a fire. Hyundai says this can happen while you are driving or while the vehicle is parked. Until it is fixed, park outside and away from buildings. A dealer will replace the oil pump controller free of charge. Owner letters were mailed June 11, 2025. https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/25v235000/https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/25v235000/Fri, 11 Apr 2025 00:00:00 +0000Certain 2025 IONIQ 5 "N" vehicles with the left-foot braking and N e-shift features have a software problem. When left-foot braking is turned on, the brakes may not work as well as they should. Also, with N e-shift engaged, the vehicle may keep speeding up even after you take your foot off the accelerator. Hyundai says not to use either feature until the fix is done. The braking and vehicle control software will be updated over the air or at a dealer. https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/25v065000/https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/25v065000/Thu, 06 Feb 2025 00:00:00 +0000Certain 2025 Hyundai IONIQ 5 "N" vehicles have a left-foot braking feature, and a software problem in the brake and vehicle control computers can weaken braking when that feature is turned on. Weaker brakes mean the car takes longer to stop. Until the fix is done, Hyundai says do not use the left-foot braking feature; if you already had the earlier repair, also do not use the "N" e-shift feature. A dealer will update the software for free. This recall has been replaced by recall 25V-235, and even already-repaired vehicles need the new fix. https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/25v064000/https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/25v064000/Thu, 06 Feb 2025 00:00:00 +0000Certain 2025 Hyundai IONIQ 5 electric vehicles may have a break in the wiring harness that runs along the rear floor. That wiring carries the signal to the rear side airbag, so if the circuit is broken, the airbag that protects people in the back seat may not inflate the way it is supposed to in a crash. Nothing about how the vehicle drives or charges is affected. A dealer will inspect the rear floor wiring and replace it if needed, at no cost. https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/24v879000/https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/24v879000/Thu, 21 Nov 2024 00:00:00 +0000A circuit board inside the backup camera on these Hyundai vehicles can be damaged, and when that happens the camera picture may not appear on the screen as you back up. You could be looking at a blank display instead of the area behind the car. Federal rules require a working rear view, so these vehicles fall short of the standard. The fix is a brand-new rearview camera, installed by the dealer at no cost to you. https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/24v877000/https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/24v877000/Wed, 20 Nov 2024 00:00:00 +0000Wiring near the center console may be routed the wrong way on these Hyundai Tucson and Santa Cruz vehicles. Because of it, the gear selector can be moved out of Park without anyone pressing the brake pedal. Normally the car will not allow that. So if the shifter gets bumped by a passenger, a bag, or a child, the vehicle can come out of Park and roll away on its own. A dealer reroutes the wiring free of charge. https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/24v868000/https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/24v868000/Mon, 18 Nov 2024 00:00:00 +0000A unit that keeps the small 12-volt battery topped up can be damaged and stop working. When that battery runs down, the car can lose drive power and stop moving, which could leave you stranded or cause a crash. Dealers will check the unit and its fuse, replace them if needed, and update the software, all free. If your vehicle was already fixed under the earlier 2024 recall, it still needs this new repair. https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/24v843000/https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/24v843000/Thu, 07 Nov 2024 00:00:00 +0000On some 2024 Santa Fe and Santa Fe Hybrid SUVs, the button that runs the rear sunshade in the overhead console does not sit deep enough in its housing. Because it sticks out, it can get pressed by accident, and the sunshade can close when nobody meant to close it. That also means these vehicles do not meet the federal safety rule for power-operated windows, partitions and roof panels. Dealers will replace the button knobs. https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/24v761000/https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/24v761000/Fri, 11 Oct 2024 00:00:00 +0000The Nexo runs on hydrogen. A safety part on the hydrogen tank, meant to release pressure if the tank gets too hot, can break. If it breaks, hydrogen gas can leak out, and that leaking gas can catch fire while the car is parked. Hyundai dealers will replace that part for free. Hyundai mailed a first warning letter in November 2024, with letters telling owners the repair is ready starting in January 2025. https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/24v691000/https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/24v691000/Fri, 13 Sep 2024 00:00:00 +0000The warning label that belongs on the glove box may be missing from your Tucson. That label tells you not to put an infant or small child in the front passenger seat, because the passenger airbag inflates with enough force to hurt them. Nothing is wrong with the airbag itself — it works normally. The only problem is the missing warning. Hyundai is mailing the label to owners, you stick it on yourself, and it costs nothing. https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/24v583000/https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/24v583000/Wed, 07 Aug 2024 00:00:00 +0000A software problem can make the brake lights flash rather than coming on and staying on steadily when you press the brake pedal. Drivers behind you may be confused about whether you are slowing or stopping, which makes it more likely someone runs into the back of your car. Dealers will reload the rear brake light software at no cost, and Hyundai is also sending the fix to cars wirelessly as an over-the-air update. https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/24v561000/https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/24v561000/Fri, 26 Jul 2024 00:00:00 +0000A bundle of wires that runs along the floor of the SUV can rub against the second-row bench seat on the passenger side and wear through. Damaged wiring can make an airbag go off when it should not, or it can keep the airbags from going off in a real crash. Either problem can injure someone in the vehicle. Dealers will look at the wiring and repair or replace it free of charge. https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/24v529000/https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/24v529000/Fri, 12 Jul 2024 00:00:00 +0000Some 2024 Santa Fe vehicles have a software error in the computer that controls the transmission. Because of it, the vehicle may roll away even when the shifter is in Park. Hyundai says owners should use the emergency parking brake every time they park. Hyundai will send a software update over the air, and dealers will inspect the transmission and replace it if needed. All work is free. https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/24v528000/https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/24v528000/Fri, 12 Jul 2024 00:00:00 +0000The pump that sends gasoline to the engine can fail. If that happens, the engine loses power and the vehicle may slow down or stall while you are driving, possibly in traffic or at highway speed. Dealers will update the engine computer software and, if an inspection shows it is needed, replace the fuel pump assembly. Both repairs are free. Hyundai began mailing owner letters September 9, 2024, with some earlier warning letters sent September 3, 2024. https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/24v412000/https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/24v412000/Wed, 05 Jun 2024 00:00:00 +0000The steering on these vehicles is assisted by an electric motor. A circuit board inside that unit can short out, and when it does you lose the power assist that makes the wheel easy to turn. Steering becomes much heavier, which can catch you off guard in a turn, in a parking lot, or at highway speed. Dealers will replace the motor-driven power steering electric power pack at no charge. https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/24v308000/https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/24v308000/Wed, 01 May 2024 00:00:00 +0000Your engine has a part called the EGR valve, which routes some exhaust back through the engine. On these vehicles, the wiring inside that valve can short out. If that happens, the engine can lose power, so the car may slow down or stop moving even while you are pressing the gas pedal. That could happen anywhere, including in traffic or on the highway. The dealer replaces the entire valve assembly at no cost to you. https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/24v283000/https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/24v283000/Fri, 19 Apr 2024 00:00:00 +0000The bolts holding the gears together in the unit that sends power to the wheels may not have been tightened properly on some 2024 Hyundai IONIQ 6 vehicles. If those bolts work loose, the car can suddenly lose drive power and stop pulling, or the gears can seize and lock up. Either one can happen while you are moving, including at highway speed, and can leave you unable to keep up with traffic or move out of the way.
