Buying a used 2020 Hyundai Accent? Check these 4 recalls first

4 NHTSA recalls · 12 owner complaints on file

The 2020 Accent has 4 recalls, with repeated seat belt pretensioner concerns and a separate issue involving the trunk opening from inside. Its 12 NHTSA owner complaints are unverified reports, including 4 concerning the engine and 2 each involving airbags, structure, and fuel or propulsion. The pretensioner campaigns are the main recall theme. Each applicable campaign needs its own completion check, alongside verification of the interior trunk release and review of engine service history.

Before you buy

1. Get the 17-character VIN from the seller and run it at nhtsa.gov/recalls. It shows which recalls are still unrepaired on that exact car.
2. Verify completion of every applicable seat belt pretensioner campaign.
3. Have the interior trunk release checked for proper operation.
4. Ask about engine, airbag, and fuel-system complaints or repairs.
5. Open recalls are repaired free at any Hyundai dealer, whoever owns the car — an open recall is a to-do item, not a bill.
