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

5 NHTSA recalls · 100 owner complaints on file

The 2022 Elantra has 5 recalls in this group, with seat belt pretensioner explosion risks appearing in multiple entries. The remaining issues concern a loose airbag cover emblem and rearview camera display failure. Its 100 NHTSA owner complaints are unverified reports; leading categories include seat belts with 23, electrical systems with 19, and forward collision avoidance with 16. Restraint repair documentation is a central review item, alongside camera operation and reported electrical or collision warning problems.

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 VIN completion records for all pretensioner recalls.
3. Confirm airbag emblem and rearview camera recall repairs.
4. Ask about electrical faults and collision avoidance warnings.
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.
