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

2 NHTSA recalls · 138 owner complaints on file · 2 park-outside

The 2023 Tucson has 2 recalls in this group, involving oil pump fire risk and water intrusion into tow hitch wiring. Both carry park-outside instructions, making VIN-specific campaign status especially relevant to the purchase review. Its 136 NHTSA owner complaints are unverified reports, including 33 unknown or other, 28 forward collision avoidance, 27 electrical system, and 23 engine reports. The complaint record also lists 12 crashes, 1 fire, and 5 injuries.

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. Verify oil pump recall completion and applicable park-outside instructions.
3. Check tow hitch wiring campaign status and repair documentation.
4. Ask about unexpected collision-avoidance intervention, electrical faults, and engine repairs.
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.
