Buying a used 2023 Hyundai Sonata? Check these 2 recalls first
The 2023 Sonata has 2 recalls in this group, both involving fire risk: an oil pump campaign and a fuel tank damage campaign. The oil pump recall carries a park-outside instruction for affected vehicles. Fuel/propulsion system leads its 88 unverified NHTSA owner complaints with 37 reports, followed by engine with 28, power train with 17, and electrical system with 12. The complaint record includes 5 crashes, 0 fires, and 0 injuries; those figures do not resolve outstanding recall status.
Before you buy
- 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.
- Verify oil pump recall completion and any outstanding park-outside instruction.
- Request documentation of the fuel tank damage recall repair.
- Review fuel-system, engine, transmission, and electrical symptom history.
- Open recalls are repaired free at any Hyundai dealer, whoever owns the car — an open recall is a to-do item, not a bill.
