2 NHTSA recalls · 42 owner complaints on file

The headline item is a critical recall covering Hyundai Elantra, Kona and Veloster engines that can fail and burn, paired with a high-severity recall for a driver's door that may open in a crash. Neither was issued with a stop-driving or park-outside warning. Owner complaints to NHTSA total 42 and are unverified, but they echo the recalls: engine leads with 18 entries and structure follows with eight, alongside two reported crashes and three 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. Confirm in writing whether the engine recall repair or engine replacement was performed
3. Ask for service records showing oil consumption, knocking or warning lights
4. Verify the driver's door recall was done and that the door latches solidly
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.
