Buying a used 2024 Hyundai Tucson? Check these 4 recalls first
Four recalls, spanning two critical park-outside items — the overheating oil pump controller and the tow hitch wiring water intrusion — plus a loss of power steering and a tire label that wrongly lists a spare. The 95 unverified NHTSA complaints skew toward driver assistance and braking: forward collision avoidance 23, electrical 18, service brakes 15, with 12 crashes and 6 injuries reported and no fires. No stop-driving 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.
- Verify the oil pump controller and tow hitch wiring recalls are both completed.
- Ask whether steering has ever gone heavy or lost assist, and confirm the power steering recall repair.
- Open the cargo floor to see whether a spare is actually present, since the tire label may be wrong.
- Open recalls are repaired free at any Hyundai dealer, whoever owns the car — an open recall is a to-do item, not a bill.
