Buying a used 2023 Hyundai Sonata? Check these 2 recalls first

2 NHTSA recalls · 85 owner complaints on file · 1 park-outside

Two recalls, and one stands out for its handling instruction: an oil pump controller that can overheat, with guidance to park the car outside and away from structures until it is fixed. The other is the fuel tank that can melt and leak. Owners filed 85 unverified NHTSA complaints — 5 crashes, no fires, no injuries — with fuel/propulsion the largest category at 37, ahead of engine, power train and electrical. Neither recall carries a stop-driving warning.

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. Confirm the oil pump controller recall repair is done, since the remedy notice says park outside until then.
3. Ask where the car has been parked and whether the seller received the park-outside notice.
4. Verify the fuel tank recall status and ask about any fuel odor or filling problems.
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.
