Hyundai Motor America (Hyundai) recalled certain 2019-2021 Tucson vehicles on September 4, 2020. On December 30, 2020, Hyundai expanded the recall population, and added certain 2016-2018 Tucson vehicles. The Anti-lock Brake Hydraulic Electronic Control Unit (HECU) could corrode internally and cause an electrical short, possibly resulting in an engine compartment fire.
An engine compartment fire can increase the risk of injury or crash.
Hyundai will notify owners, and dealers will replace the HECU fuse. For 2019-2021 model years, the Electronic Stability Control (ESC) software will also be updated. Recall repairs will be performed free of charge. Owners are advised to park outside and away from structures as a precaution until the recall repair is complete. The recall began November 2, 2020.

Hyundai Motor America (Hyundai) is recalling certain model year 2016-2017 Tucson vehicles manufactured May 19, 2015, to November 14, 2016, and 2017 Santa Fe vehicles manufactured November 28, 2015, to November 14, 2016.

Exterior lighting, tail lightsMar 10, 2016
Hyundai Motor America (Hyundai) is recalling certain model year 2016 Hyundai Tucson vehicles manufactured May 26, 2015 to January 15, 2016 and equipped with an accessory trailer hitch harness either included with the accessory trailer hitch or sold as a service part. In the affected vehicles, when the vehicle's engine is running and the brake lights are illuminated, if the turn signal is activated, the trailer turn signal lights will either turn off or remain continuously illuminated (not flash). As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard Number 108, " Lamps, Reflective Devices, and Associated Equipment."
Failure to illuminate the trailer's turn signal lights would prevent the communication of the driver's intent, increasing the risk of a crash.
Hyundai will notify owners, and dealers will update the tow hitch harness, free of charge. The recall began on May 2, 2016. Owners may contact Hyundai customer service at 1-855-371-9640. Hyundai's number for this recall is 142.

A REAR DOOR LOCK IS 'FROZEN" IN A LOCKED POSITION. IT REJECTS PHYSICAL AND ELECTRONIC ATTEMPTS TO OPEN. IT REMAINS WHEN ENGINE IS OFF OR ON. IT IS NOT LOCKED BY CHILD PROTECTION. IT CLEARLY IS A DANGER TO OCCUPANTS IN CASE OF AN ACCIDENT FIRE. A WEB SEARCH FOR HYUNDAI TUCSON 2016 (AND SOME SIMILAR) DOOR LOCKS SHOWS THIS IS NOT UNCOMMON. NEITHER THE DOOR NOR LOCK NOR HANDLE HAVE BEEN DAMAGED. THERE IS NO COMPANY RECALL OR OFFER FOR DEALERS TO REPAIR.

THE REAR DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR LATCH FAILED SUDDENLY AND WITHOUT WARNING ON MY DAUGHTER'S 2016 HYUNDAI TUCSON. THE DOOR COULD NOT BE OPENED FROM THE INSIDE OR OUTSIDE OF THE VEHICLE. NOT BEING ABLE TO OPEN THE CAR DOOR COULD HAVE LED TO SO MANY HEALTH AND SAFETY ISSUES DEPENDING ON THE SITUATION. PLEASE IMAGINE IF THE DRIVER'S DOOR FAILED DURING A VEHICLE FIRE, A SUBMERGED SITUATION, A CAR CRASH, ETC. THINK OF THE POSSIBILITIES OF YOUR CHILD DRIVER BEING TRAPPED IN THE CAR DURING A SITUATION LIKE I JUST MENTIONED. AS YOU CAN EXPECT, I'M VERY DISAPPOINTED IN THE DEFECT AND I'M SHOCKED THERE IS NO RECALL OR FREE REPAIR AVAILABLE FOR THIS SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE. I'VE PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE BASED ON THE EXCELLENT RATINGS OF QUALITY AND SAFETY. FROM WHAT I UNDERSTAND, EACH OF THE DOOR LATCHES COULD SUBSEQUENTLY FAIL AS WELL AS THE NEW LATCH RECENTLY INSTALLED. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE. I'M NEARLY 60 YEARS OLD AND HAVE OWNED OVER A DOZEN CARS IN MY LIFE. THIS IS THE VERY FIRST FAILED DOOR LATCH I'VE HAD AND HAVE EVER HEARD OF.

REAR DRIVER DOOR WILL NOT UNLOCK EITHER FROM THE INSIDE OR THE OUTSIDE. YOU CAN HEAR THE REMAINING DOORS LOCK AND UNLOCK BUT NOT THE REAR DRIVER. I TRANSPORT MY GRAND CHILDREN AND THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE. THE CARS HAS 16K MILES ON IT AND IS STILL UNDER WARRANTY. DEALER SAID IT WILL TAKE ABOUT 1 TO 2 WEEKS TO GET THE PART IN. I WAS TOLD THAT THIS HAS HAPPENED TO ALOT OF THE HYUNDAI TUCSONS.

REAR PASSENGER DOORS WON'T OPEN FROM INSIDE OR OUTSIDE DOOR HANDLES. THIS STARTED INTERMITTENTLY THEN ULTIMATELY TRAPPED PASSENGERS IN THE REAR SEATS OF THE VEHICLE. NOTHING WORKED TO RELEASE THE DOORS, CAUSING PASSENGERS TO HAVE CRAWL THROUGH FRONT SEATS TO EXIT THE VEHICLE. INVESTIGATING OF ANY RECALLS WE FOUND THAT THIS IS WIDE SPREAD OVER SEVERAL YEARS, AND CHARGES RANGE FROM $400 TO $2K. WHEN CLEARLY THIS IS DEFECTIVE COMPONENTS OR DESIGN, USED IN AND FOR LOCKING SYSTEM, FAIR EXPECTATION THAT OCCUPANTS CAN EXIT THE VEHICLE IN THE CASE OF AN EMERGENCY. HYUNDAI SERVICE CONSIDERS THIS A MALFUNCTIONING PART AND NOT COVERED BY WARRANTY OR BY AGE OF THE VEHICLE. THE DOORS LOCKING ACTUATORS ARE MALFUNCTIONING THERE IS NO OPTION TO MANUALLY OPEN THE DOORS, AGAIN CAUSING A PERSON TO BE TRAPPED IN THE VEHICLE. PEOPLE ARE REPORTING FROM 1 DOOR TO ALL 4 DOORS FAILING TO OPEN. OUR CAR THE REAR DOORS DO NOT OPEN. HYUNDAI SHOULD TAKE RESPONSIBILITY TO FIX THIS DEFECTIVE PART/DESIGN AND NOT AT THE CAR OWNERS EXPENSE.

AFTER PARKING THE CAR, I WENT AROUND TO THE REAR PASSENGER SIDE TO GET ONE OF MY CHILDREN OUT OF THE CARSEAT WHEN THE DOOR WOULDN'T OPEN. CHILD LOCKS WERE NOT ENGAGED BUT THE DOOR WOULDN'T OPEN FROM THE INSIDE OR OUTSIDE OF THE CAR. AFTER USING THE KEYLESS ENTRY AND INSIDE DRIVER SIDE SWITCHES TO UNLOCK THE CAR NUMEROUS TIMES, THE DOOR WOULDN'T OPEN. THE OTHER 3 DOORS WERE UNLOCKING AND LOCKING JUST FINE. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY CONCERN AS MY 8 MONTH OLD WAS LOCATED IN THE REAR PASSENGER SEAT.

MY DOORS HAVE BEEN NOT BEING ABLE TO OPEN FROM THE INSIDE OR OUT. THIS IS THE 2ND TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED AND THEY SAY IT'S BECAUSE THE DOOR LATCH IS BAD. THIS IS A TOTAL SAFETY ISSUE, BECAUSE IF I WERE TO GET INTO AN ACCIDENT AND MY ONLY WAY OUT WAS THE DOOR I WOULD BE LOCKED IN AND POTENTIALLY DIE. THE FACT THIS HAS BEEN AN ISSUE FOR PEOPLE FOR OVER A YEAR AND STILL NOT A RECALL AND FOR IT TO HAPPEN TO ME TWICE IS RIDICULOUS. MY DAD IS A FIRST RESPONDER AND SAYS THAT THIS ISN'T A RECALL IS UNACCEPTABLE. AND THE FACT THAT THE ONLY WAY IT WILL BE A RECALL IS FOR SOMEONE TO DIE IN THE ACCIDENT AND FOR THEM TO SUE HYUNDAI TO BE A RECALL IS RIDICULOUS. PLEASE CONSIDER THE DOOR LATCH ISSUE TO BE A RECALL YOU CAN SEE ALL THE OTHER COMPLAINTS ONLINE BY TYPING IN GOOGLE. MY DOOR WILL RANDOMLY JUST STOP OPENING ONE DAY ONCE YOU CLOSE AND YOU CANNOT OPEN IT FROM THE INSIDE OR THE OUTSIDE. THIS HAS NOW HAPPENED ON BOTH REAR DOORS.

THE DOOR LOCK ACTUATOR IS FAILING AND DOESN'T ALWAYS FUNCTION RESULTING IN THE DOOR BEING UN-OPENABLE. WHEN ACTUATED, THE DOOR UNLOCK BUTTON ON THE KEY FOB SOUNDS AS IF THE LOCK IS OPENED, BUT WHEN I PULL ON THE HANDLE, THE DOOR WILL NOT OPEN. AFTER MULTIPLE ATTEMPTS AT PULLING ON THE HANDLE, THE DOOR WILL OPEN. THIS IS IMPACTING MY LEFT PASSENGER DOOR. AFTER LOOKING ON THE INTERNET, THIS APPEARS TO BE A WIDESPREAD ISSUE WITH THIS VEHICLE.

MY TUSCON HAS QT THIS MOMENT 36,960 MILES I PURCHASED IT BACK IN JUNE/JULY MY REAR PASSENGER DOORS OPEN WHEN THEY FEEL LIKE IT AS OF RIGHT NOW I CAN'T GET ONE OF THEM TO OPEN AT ALL. AND THE GAS GUAGE HASN'T FUNCTIONED SINCE I GOT THE VEHICLE. AFTER LOOKING ONLINE I SEE THAT A LOT OF PEOPLE HAVE HAD THE SAME ISSUE WITH THE DOORS. THIS IS A REAL NUISANCE AS I HAVE A CHILD AND NEED TO BE ABLE TO OPEN THE DOORS TO GET TO HIM WITHOUT FAIL.

THE MOTOR IN THE DOORS BLOW (ACCORDING TO THE INFORMATION I RECEIVED FROM HYUNDAI A COUPLE YEARS AGO.) WHEN THIS HAPPENS, THE PASSENGERS ARE LOCKED IN THE CAR WITHOUT ANY WAY OF BEING ABLE TO GET OUT. THE DOOR WILL NOT OPEN FROM THE INSIDE OR THE OUTSIDE OF THE CAR. THESE PARTS WERE REPLACED WHILE THE CAR WAS UNDER WARRANTY. THIS HAS HAPPENED AGAIN WITH THE SAME VEHICLE AND NOW WILL NOT BE COVERED SINCE IT IS NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY. THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD THAT TRAPS THE PASSENGERS IN THE CAR.

THE REAR PASSENGER DOORS LEFT AND RIGHT DO NOT OPEN. THE DOORS ARE UNLOCKED AND THEY BOTH WILL NOT OPEN. YOU HAVE TO PULL THE HANDLE MORE THAN 30 TIMES FOR THE DOORS TO OPEN. IT'S NOT SAFE AND MY CHILD HAS BEEN STUCK IN THE CAR WAITING FOR ME TO GET HER OUT.

BACK PASSENGER DOOR WILL NOT OPEN FROM THE INSIDE OR OUTSIDE AND THE WINDOW WILL ONLY ROLL UP OR DOWN USING THE SWITCH ON THE DOOR AND NOT THE MASTER SWITCH ON THE DRIVER DOOR.

I BOUGHT MY CAR IN 2017 WITH ROUGHLY 33000 MILES ON IT. IT NOW HAS ROUGHLY 89000 ON IT. I FIRST HAD PROBLEMS WITH THE DRIVER SIDE WINDOW NOT WORKING. BOUGHT A MOTOR HAD IT REPLACED. NOW MY DRIVERSIDE DOOR OPENS SOMETIMES, YOU HAVE TO PULL HANDLE 3 OR 4 TIMES TO OPEN IT. DRIVER SIDE REAR DOOR WON'T OPEN FROM INSIDE OR OUTSIDE AT ALL. WHY IS THERE NO RECALL ON THIS?THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE TO THE MAX! I AM 57AND CAN'T BE CLIMBING OVER SEATS OR CONSOLES TO GET OUT! I ALSO CAN'T AFFORD THESE KINDS OF REPAIRS. I AM PAYING 400 A MONTH FOR A DEATH TRAP! NO ONE CAN RIDE WITH ME BECAUSE THEY WOULDN'T BE ABLE TO GET OUT OF THE CAR UNLESS THEY CROSSED OVER SEATS! PLEASE HELP WITH THIS.

I TOOK TO THE HYUNDAI DEALER PRIME HYUNDAI IN PLYMOUTH ANDS WASN TOLD MY DOOR ACUATOR WAS BENT???????IF THE DOOR WAS HARDLY USEDN AND NOT IN AN ACCIDENT THAT MEANS THE PART WAS ALWAYS BENTBB. THE DEALER WANTS $460.00 TO REPLACE. I HAD PREVIOUS APPTS. TO HAVE REPAIRED AND COULDN'T MAKE THEM. I AM NOT UNDER WARRANTY BY 14 DAYS..

ACCORDING TO HYUNDAI (AND SEVERAL OTHERS IN VARIOUS ONLINE FORUMS), THERE IS A KNOWN DOOR LATCH ISSUE THAT AFFECTS 2015 AND NEWER HYUNDAI TUCSONS AND POSSIBLY OTHER HYUNDAI MODELS. OUR 2016 HYUNDAI TUCSON REAR DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR WILL NOT OPEN FROM THE INSIDE OR OUTSIDE AND THE FRONT DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR WILL ONLY OPEN FROM THE INSIDE. THIS POSES A MAJOR SAFETY CONCERN DUE TO THE FACT THAT IF THE PASSENGER'S SIDE WAS TO BECOME DAMAGED OR BLOCKED, IT WOULD BE NEARLY IMPOSSIBLE TO 1. ESCAPE THE VEHICLE, OR 2. SAVE SOMEONE IN THE BACKSEAT DURING AN EMERGENCY- SPECIFICALLY CHILDREN IN CAR SEATS, PEOPLE WITH DISABILITIES OR ELDERLY WHO REQUIRE ASSISTANCE. IF THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE, AND LATER AFFECTS THE PASSENGER'S SIDE, ONE COULD POTENTIALLY HAVE TO BREAK A WINDOW JUST TO EXIT THE VEHICLE. THIS ISSUE PUTS DRIVERS AND PASSENGERS IN IMMINENT DANGER, NOT TO MENTION THE STRESS, FRUSTRATION AND FEAR OF NOT BEING ABLE TO OPEN YOUR CAR DOOR TO REMOVE A CHILD FROM A CAR SEAT OR LOVED ONE INTO THEIR WHEEL CHAIR. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE FOR ANY VEHICLE, ESPECIALLY ONE THAT IS ONLY 3.5 YEARS OLD. HYUNDAI'S UNWILLINGNESS TO REPAIR THIS PROBLEM FOR ANYTHING LESS THAN $1000 BECAUSE THE VEHICLE HAS TOO MANY MILES IS OUTRAGEOUS. THIS HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH MILEAGE- IT IS A SAFETY CONCERN NEEDING AN IMMEDIATE RECALL. BEING LOCKED/TRAPPED INSIDE A VEHICLE IS NEVER OKAY.

THE RIGHT REAR DOOR OF THE VEHICLE WILL NOT OPEN FROM EITHER THE INSIDE OR OUTSIDE. IT WAS A SUDDEN FAILURE. WORKED WHEN WE STOPPED THE VEHICLE, DID NOT WORK WHEN WE RETURNED TO THE VEHICLE 15 MINUTES LATER. IT SOUNDS LIKE THE ELECTRIC LOCKS ARE TRYING TO WORK AND THE PHYSICAL BUTTON ON THE INSIDE IS SHOWING TO BE UNLOCKED, BUT NEITHER THE INSIDE HANDLE OR OUTSIDE HANDLE WILL OPEN THE DOOR.

MY DOOR WILL NOT OPEN FROM THE INSIDE OR OUTSIDE. BOTH MY BACK PASSENGER SIDE DOOR AND FRONT PASSENGER SIDE DOOR HAVE STOPPED OPENING. THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD. ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU HAVE CHILDREN, I HAVE 2 KIDS UNDER 5 IN CAR SEATS AND IF I NEEDED TO GET THEM OUT IN AN EMERGENCY I WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO IN A TIMELY MANNER. I'VE SEEN MULTIPLE REPORTS OF THIS SAME ISSUE, I SHOULD NOT HAVE TO PAY $1000 FOR MY DOOR TO OPEN.

IT ALL STARTED OUT WITH THE DRIVER DOOR. THE PUSH BUTTON FELL OFF, THE DOOR WAS STILL ABLE TO OPEN BUT NOW THE WIRES ARE EXPOSED. THE CO-PILOT DOOR FAILED AT OPENING. YOU HAVE TO PULL IT THREE TIMES BEFORE IT OPENS. THEN THE CO-PILOT WINDOW STOPPED FUNCTIONING. WENT TO GO GET IT FIXED AND THEY SAID THE DOOR SHOULD BE FIXED AFTER REPLACING THE MOTOR. FALSE. DOOR STILL DOES NOT WORK. REAR PASSENGER DOOR DOES NOT OPEN FROM INSIDE OR OUT. COULD BE A RISK SINCE NOW ONLY ONE DOOR IN THE BACK IS OPERABLE. THE WINDOW FROM THE DRIVER DOOR STOPPED OPERATING. THAT IS NOW THREE OF 4 DOORS. WHAT IS IT GOING TO TAKE UNTIL THIS IS A RECALL? ALSO WHEN THE PASSENGER WINDOW GOT FIXED THEY SAID THE PLASTIC MOTOR WAS SLIGHTLY MELTED?! FIRE HAZARD.

PASSENGER SIDE DOORS - FIRST THE FRONT PASSENGER DOOR, THEN THE REAR PASSENGER DOOR - STOPPED OPENING. FRONT PASSENGER DOOR WAS ABLE TO BE OPENED FROM THE INSIDE (ROLLING DOWN WINDOW), BUT THE BACK DOOR HAD THE CHILD LOCK ENGAGED SO COULD NOT BE OPENED AT ALL. ANALYSIS AT DEALERSHIP DETERMINED IT WAS (IN BOTH CASES) THE ACTUATOR AND THIS SEEMS TO BE A WIDESPREAD ISSUE. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AS I HAD MY 3 YEAR OLD IN CHILDSEAT IN BACK AND COULD NOT GET TO HER QUICKLY. I'VE NOW MOVED HER CAR SEAT TO THE OTHER SIDE, HOWEVER, I DO NOT WANT TO ENGAGE THE CHILDLOCK ON THAT DOOR IN CASE THE SAME THING HAPPENS - THEN I WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO REACH HER AT ALL - THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY CONCERN FOR ME.

MY REAR PASSENGER DOOR STOPPED WORKING SUDDENLY. IT WILL NOT OPEN FROM THE INTERIOR LATCH OR THE EXTERIOR.AFTER SEARCHING ONLINE I HAVE FOUND THAT THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE WITH THESE VEHICLES. I BELIEVE THIS TO BE A SAFETY ISSUE AS I NORMALLY HAVE PASSENGERS IN MY VEHICLE AND IN CASE OF AN EMERGENCY MY PASSENGERS WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO ESCAPE ON THAT SIDE OF THE CAR. THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY WHEN I ATTEMPTED TO OPEN THE DOOR.

THE FRONT PASSENGER DOOR DOES NOT OPEN FROM THE OUTSIDE. IT UNLOCKS AND CAN BE OPENED FROM THE INSIDE. ONCE OPENED FROM THE INSIDE AFTER BEING UNLOCKED, YOU CAN CLOSE IT AND RE-OPEN AGAIN FROM THE OUTSIDE LEADING ME TO BELIEVE THIS IS AN ELECTRONIC ISSUE, NOT A HARDWARE ISSUE WITH THE LATCH. AFTER RESEARCHING IT SEEMS THIS IS A CONSISTENT PROBLEM WITH HYUNDAI. HAVING ALL DOORS WORK IS CERTAINLY AN SAFETY ISSUE. THIS HAPPENS WHILE IN PARK WITH THE VEHICLE ON OR OFF.

THE CAR DOESNT GO WHEN YOU STEP ON THE GAS, PULLING OUT IN TRAFFIC IS DANGEROUS. THE PROBLEM EXASTURBATED WHEN THE CARS 1ST 15 MINUTES OF RUNNING. AND ANYTIME I GO FROM A COMPLETE STOP FOR LONGER THAN 30 SECONDS, THERE IS LITTLE MOMENTUM, WHETHER I'M TURNING OR GOING FORWARD. I HAVE TO USE THE 7 SPEED MANUAL TO ENSURE SAFETY PULLING OUT INTO CROSS TRAFFIC, THE RESULTS COULD BE DEADLY. THE CAR HAS BEEN BROUGHT IN SEVERAL TIMES, BUT ROUTE 60 HYUNDAI, VERO BEACH IS RUDE! GETTING A LOANER FOR THIS RECALL WAS HORRIFIC THE 1ST TIME, AND THEY WOULDN'T GIVE ME A VEHICLE THE 2ND, 3RD OR 4TH TIME. #2 THE DOORS AND WINDOWS, THE PASSENGER FRONT DOOR AND THE PASSENGER REAR DOOR, DO NOT OPEN FROM THE INSIDE OR OUT, AS WELL AS THE PASSENGER WINDOW NO LONGER OPERATES, GOD FORBID THERE IS AN ACCIDENT, THERE IS NO ESCAPE. THIS VEHICLE HAS HAD 4 RECALLS, 1 BEING THE TRANSMISSION ISSUE. THIS VEHICLE GETS SCARIER EVERY DAY, AND I AM DISABLED ALREADY. I DONT WANT TO DIE IN THIS VEHICLE.
