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.

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.

Latches/locks/linkages, hood, latchMay 24, 2016
Hyundai Motor Company (Hyundai) is recalling certain model year 2016 Tucson vehicles manufactured May 19, 2015 to March 14, 2016. In the affected vehicles, if the primary hood latch has been released, and the vehicle is driven, the secondary hood latch may not hold adequately secure the hood to prevent it from opening while the vehicle is in motion.
If the primary hood latch is inadvertently released and the secondary latch cannot secure the hood, the hood may unexpectedly open while driving, increasing the risk of a crash.
Hyundai will notify owners, and dealers will replace the secondary hood latch, free of charge. The recall began on June 30, 2016. Owners may contact Hyundai customer service at 1-855-371-9460. Hyundai's number for this recall is 145.

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.

JUST SHORT OF 63,000 MILES, MY KEY FOB QUIT UNLOCKING THE FRONT DRIVER'S DOOR IN IT'S NORMAL SEQUENCE. I HAVE TO KEEP PRESSING "UNLOCK" SEVERAL TIMES UNTIL THE LOCK OPENS. THE OTHER DOORS SEEM RESPONSIVE AT THIS TIME. THERE HAVE BEEN TIMES I HAVE HAD TO USE THE KEY. THE SAFETY OF BEING ABLE TO QUICKLY UNLOCK MY DOORS WHEN APPROACHING MY CAR IN MY CARPORT OR IN A PUBLIC SPACE IS COMPROMISED. I DID AN ONLINE SEARCH AND FOUND MANY PEOPLE COMPLAINING OF THE SAME OR VERY SIMILAR CIRCUMSTANCES ON THE IDENTICAL MAKE AND MODEL HYUNDAI. IT SEEMS TO BE ASSOCIATED WITH THE ACTUATOR. I HAVE NOT TAKEN MY CAR TO THE SHOP YET, BUT WANTED TO ADD MY EXPERIENCE TO YOUR DATABASE. APPARENTLY, THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE BY HYUNDAI ACCORDING TO PEOPLE WRITING ABOUT IT ON A POPULAR AUTOMOTIVE WEBSITE AND I AM HOPING THAT ATTENTION BROUGHT TO THIS FLAW WILL TRIGGER A RECALL. I AM FEARFUL THAT THE PROBLEM WILL SPREAD TO OTHER DOORS OR THAT I MAY BE PREVENTED FROM EXITING MY DRIVER DOOR WHEN I NEED TO GET OUT OF THE CAR.

REAR PASSENGER DOOR WILL NOT OPEN. IT LOCKS/UNLOCKS WITHOUT AN ISSUE, BUT THE INSIDE AND OUTSIDE DOOR HANDLES DO NOT WORK. MY CHILD COULD BE TRAPPED IN THE CAR IN AN EMERGENCY. THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY.
Structure, Apr 30, 2021
THE DOOR ACTUATORS STOP WORKING AND YOU ARE NOT ABLE TO OPEN THE DOOR USING THE INSIDE OR THE OUTSIDE DOOR HANDLES. YOU CAN HEAR THEM UNLOCK, BUT THE DOOR STILL WILL NOT OPEN. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY CONCERN IF THERE WERE TO BE AN EMERGENCY WHERE THE CAR NEEDED TO BE EVACUATED. THIS HAPPENS WHEN THE CAR IS STATIONARY, WHETHER IT IS OFF OR THE ENGINE IS RUNNING.

RECEIVED RECALL LETTER. CALLED DEALER WHERE PURCHASED AND SPOKE WITH SERVICE DEPARTMENT. THEY SAID THEY NEEDED TO ORDER THE PART (FOR THIS VERY IMPORTANT RECALL WHERE I WAS ADVISED NOT TO DRIVE THE CAR) AND THEY WOULD CALL WHEN PART ARRIVED. THAT WAS ON 3/22/2021. THEY ADVISED IT WOULD TAKE 2 WEEKS. TODAY IS 4/29/2021 AND I HAVE NOT HEARD FROM THEM. I CALLED THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT AND WAS PLACED ON HOLD. THEY CAME BACK ONLINE AND ASKED IF I WANTED TO LEAVE MY NAME AND NUMBER AND SOMEONE WOULD CALL ME BACK. I SAID "NO" BECAUSE I KNEW NO ONE WOULD CALL ME BACK AND WAS PLACED ON HOLD AGAIN. DURING THIS TIME FRAME I HAVE RECEIVED REPEATED MAIL FROM HYUNDAI WANTING ME TO TRADE IN MY CAR FOR A NEW ONE. THEY AGAIN CAME ON THE LINE AND SAID "NO ONE WAS AVAILABLE TO TAKE MY CALL". I HUNG UP. SO NOW I HAVE A VEHICLE I WAS ADVISED NOT TO DRIVE AND NO WAY TO HAVE THE RECALL TAKEN CARE OF.

MULTIPLE SENSORS AND LIGHTS ON THE DASH ARE ILLUMINATED, INCLUDING THE AIRBAGS, BRAKES, TRACTION CONTROL, HILL ASSIST, TIRE PRESSURE, ETC. I'VE BEEN TOLD THAT THIS IS RELATED TO A VACUUM PUMP ISSUE. OTHER HYUNDAIS ARE UNDER RECALL FOR THIS SAME ISSUE, BUT MY VIN DOES NOT SHOW UP AS COVERED. THIS IS AN EXTREME HAZARD AS THE CAR IS NOT FUNCTIONING PROPERLY, AND IF THE SENSOR ARE NOT FUNCTIONING, PROPERLY, THERE IS NO GUARANTEE THAT THE AIRBAGS OR OTHER SAFETY SYSTEMS WILL FUNCTION AS INTENDED WITH THIS UNDERLYING PROBLEM. THE RECALL NEEDS TO BE EXPANDED TO INCLUDE ALL OF THE 1.6 TUCSONS, AS IT'S OBVIOUSLY AN ISSUE ACROSS THE MANUFACTURER AND MULTIPLE MODELS. THIS PROBLEM HAPPENS WHEN THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION, AND THESE SYSTEMS ENGAGE RANDOMLY CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO FUNCTION POORLY. ADDITIONALLY THIS AFFECTS EMISSIONS.

REAR VEHICLE DOORS WOULD NOT OPEN EITHER FROM THE INSIDE OR THE OUTSIDE, PROGRESSIVE IN NATURE OVER THE COURSE OF SEVERAL MONTHS. AT THE TIME OF REPAIR, THE DOOR WOULDN'T OPEN. MY ELDERLY MOTHER WITH LIMITED MOBILITY WAS STUCK IN THE BACK OF THE CAR FOR OVER AN HOUR UNTIL I WAS ABLE TO GET THE CAR DOOR OPEN. IF MY MOTHER WAS IN AN EMERGENT MEDICAL SITUATION, I DON'T KNOW HOW WE WOULD HAVE GOTTEN HER OUT. I CAN'T IMAGINE IF A MOTHER WITH YOUNG CHILDREN AND CAR SEATS WOULD MANAGE IN A SAFETY SITUATION. THIS COULD BE A SITUATION BETWEEN LIFE AND DEATH. THE HYUNDAI DEALERSHIP WAS ONLY MINIMALLY SUPPORTIVE OF THIS. IT IS NOT ACCEPTABLE TO PAY $898.23 TO BE ABLE TO OPEN AND CLOSE THE DOORS ON A CAR THAT IS LESS THAN 5 YEARS OLD. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY SITUATION THAT HAS BEEN REPORTED OVER AND OVER AGAIN ACROSS MANY CAR WEBSITES. WE HAVE BEEN A LONGTIME HYUNDAI CUSTOMER, AND FIND THE LACK OF RECALL FOR SUCH A GLARING SAFETY SITUATION UNACCEPTABLE. AT SOME POINT, SOMEONE WILL LOSE THEIR LIFE BECAUSE OF THIS. I STRONGLY URGE THAT THIS MATTER BE LOOKED INTO IN DEPTH, AND THAT THIS WOULD RESULT IN A SAFETY RECALL. I HAVE THE DOCUMENTS FROM THE DEALERSHIP FOR THE REPAIR TO THE DOORS THAT SPECIFICALLY STATE THEIR CONCERNS FOR THIS BEING A SAFETY ISSUE. BEING ABLE TO GET INTO AND OUT OF A CAR SAFELY IS NOT A LUXURY, IT IS A NECESSITY. TO PAY NEARLY 1,000 DOLLARS TO DO SO IS NOT ACCEPTABLE, AND A PROBLEM TRUST WITH HYUNDAI PRODUCTS. I STRONGLY URGE YOUR ORGANIZATION TO LOOK INTO THE HUGE AND GROWING NUMBER OF HYUNDAI TUSCON SUVS THAT HAVE THIS PROBLEM, AND TO INITIATE A SAFETY RECALL.

NOW IT IS APRIL OF 2021 AND I AM HAVING THE SAME ISSUE WITH MY PASSENGER DOOR. SAME ISSUE, BUT NOW MY VEHICLE IS OUT OF WARRANTY AND THE DEALERSHIP SAID I WILL HAVE TO PAY FOR THE TOTAL REPAIR OUT OF POCKET. THIS NEEDS TO BE A RECALL AND HYUNDAI SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE COST.
