Buying a used 2022 Hyundai Tucson? Check these 3 recalls first

3 NHTSA recalls · 381 owner complaints on file · 1 park-outside

The heaviest complaint record in this group: 381 unverified NHTSA reports, including 25 crashes, 4 fires and 54 injuries, concentrated in fuel/propulsion (131) and engine (115). The recalls point elsewhere — a critical tow hitch wiring problem that lets water in, with park-outside guidance, plus software that may disable headlights and taillights, and roof trim that can fly off. Worth noting the gap between what was recalled and where owners say the trouble is.

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. Ask for full engine service records and any oil consumption, warning lights or engine replacement history.
3. Confirm the tow hitch wiring recall repair, and inspect the hitch harness area for water or corrosion.
4. Check headlights and taillights through several ignition cycles, and look at roof trim attachment along both rails.
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.
