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

4 NHTSA recalls · 178 owner complaints on file

The 2020 Sonata has 4 recalls in this group. Fuel tank damage posing a fire risk is the principal fire-related campaign; the remaining recalls address remote parking failure, incorrect tire-size information on the tire pressure label, and trunk latch failure. Its 178 NHTSA owner complaints are unverified reports, led by fuel/propulsion system with 45, electrical system with 40, engine with 31, and unknown or other with 28. Reports include 5 crashes, 1 fire, and 4 injuries.

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 fuel tank recall completion and ask about fuel-system repairs.
3. Confirm remote parking recall repair and review electrical fault history.
4. Check the corrected tire label and documented trunk latch recall repair.
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.
