Buying a used 2022 Hyundai Accent? Check these 2 recalls first

2 NHTSA recalls · 16 owner complaints on file

The 2022 Accent has 2 recalls addressing a steering column bolt that may loosen and seat belt pretensioner risk. Its 16 NHTSA owner complaints are unverified reports, with electrical issues at 6, unknown or other concerns at 4, seat belts at 4, and steering at 3. Steering and restraints therefore appear in both the recall and complaint records. Electrical concerns form an additional review area, requiring symptom details and service records beyond recall paperwork.

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 the steering column bolt recall repair.
3. Confirm pretensioner recall completion and inspect belt operation.
4. Ask about electrical faults, steering symptoms, and repair records.
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.
