Buying a used 2022 Hyundai Elantra? Check these 5 recalls first

5 NHTSA recalls · 100 owner complaints on file

Three of the five recalls cover the same theme — a seat belt part that can explode — alongside a driver airbag emblem that may break loose and a rearview camera that may not display. None carry stop-driving or park-outside warnings. Seat belts are also the largest single complaint category among 100 unverified owner reports filed with NHTSA (6 crashes, 1 fire, 9 injuries), ahead of electrical and forward collision avoidance, so recalls and complaints point at overlapping areas.

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. VIN-check that all three seat belt recalls were actually completed
3. Ask whether the airbag emblem and rearview camera recalls were performed
4. Test the backup camera over several starts and check belt retraction
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.
