Buying a used 2025 Hyundai Tucson Hybrid? Check these 3 recalls first
Recalls here center on driver assistance and displays: unexpected braking shared with the Santa Cruz, plus two separate campaigns covering a dashboard display that can go blank. The complaint picture echoes that — 137 unverified NHTSA reports, with forward collision avoidance the dominant category at 67 and electrical system at 51, alongside 5 crashes, 1 fire and 5 injuries. Vehicle speed control also appears. No recall here carries a stop-driving or park-outside instruction.
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.
- Ask directly whether the car has ever braked on its own with nothing ahead, and get the braking recall status.
- Start the car several times during the visit and watch the instrument display come up fully each time.
- Confirm both dashboard-display recalls and any related software updates were applied at a dealer.
- Open recalls are repaired free at any Hyundai dealer, whoever owns the car — an open recall is a to-do item, not a bill.
