Buying a used 2025 Hyundai Tucson Plug-In Hybrid? Check these 3 recalls first
This plug-in shares the Tucson Hybrid's recall list: unexpected braking, and two campaigns covering a dashboard display that can go blank. What differs is the complaint record — just 3 unverified NHTSA reports, none involving crashes, fires or injuries, spread one apiece across electrical system, vehicle speed control, lane departure and an unspecified category. That thin total reflects a small, recently sold population more than it settles anything. No stop-driving or park-outside instructions apply.
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.
- Run the VIN yourself for the braking and dashboard-display recalls rather than relying on the low complaint count.
- Cycle the ignition repeatedly and confirm the dashboard display initializes every time.
- Ask whether the automatic emergency braking has ever activated without an obstacle present.
- Open recalls are repaired free at any Hyundai dealer, whoever owns the car — an open recall is a to-do item, not a bill.
