Hyundai Motor America (Hyundai) is recalling certain 2017 Tucson and Sonata Hybrid vehicles. The connecting rod bearings inside the engine may wear prematurely, which can result in engine damage.
A damaged engine can increase the risk of a fire or it can cause an engine stall, increasing the risk of a crash.
Dealers will inspect the engine. If bearing damage is found, the engine will be replaced. Dealers will also install a software update containing a new Knock Sensor Detection System (KSDS). Repairs will be performed free of charge. Owners were notified of the defect on November 16, 2021. Owner notification letters were mailed January 15, 2022. Owners may contact Hyundai customer service at 1-855-371-9460. Hyundai's number for this recall is 209.

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. Owners may contact Hyundai customer service at 1-855-371-9460. Hyundai's number for this recall is 195.

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. The affected vehicles may be equipped with an accessory trailer hitch wiring harness that, due to a malfunction of the tow hitch module, may result, in the trailer brake lights being constantly illuminated. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 108, " Lamps, Reflective Devices, and Associated Equipment."
If the trailer brake lights stay illuminated while being used, other drivers may be confused, increasing the risk of a crash.
Hyundai will notify owners, and dealers will replace the affected accessory trailer hitch wiring harnesses, free of charge. The recall is expected to begin January 13, 2017. Owners may contact Hyundai customer service at 1-800-633-5151. Hyundai's number for this recall is 153.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 HYUNDAI TUCSON. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE AT A STANDSTILL, THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO STALL WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT STATED NO WARNING LIGHT WAS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE LOCAL DEALER BILL DUBE HYUNDAI (271 MAIN ST, WILMINGTON, MA 01887, (978) 253-4691) WHERE IT WAS NOT DIAGNOSED. THE MANUFACTURER HAS BEEN INFORMED OF FAILURE AND TOLD THE CONTACT TO CONTACT A DEALERSHIP. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 12,000.

HYUNDAI HAS A MANUFACTURER RECALL FOR THIS VEHICLE, NHTSA RECALL # 20V543000. I WAS INFORMED BY THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT AT MY HYUNDAI DEALERSHIP (NAPLETON HYUNDAI IN HAZELWOOD, MO) THAT THERE IS AN ACTIVE RECALL, BUT THEY DO NOT HAVE THE PARTS NEEDED OR A SOLUTION TO FIX THIS RECALL. I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY A RECALL CAN BE ISSUED FOR WHAT MAY BE A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE (POTENTIAL ENGINE COMPARTMENT FIRE), AND YET HYUNDAI DOES NOT HAVE A SOLUTION OR THE PARTS NEEDED TO FIX THIS PROBLEM. ADDITIONALLY, THE SERVICE ADVISOR AT NAPLETON HYUNDAI INFORMED ME THAT THERE IS A SOLUTION FOR THIS RECALL FOR HYUNDAI TUCSONS IN THE 2019 THROUGH 2021 MODEL YEARS, BUT APPARENTLY AS THE PARTS BECOME AVAILABLE HYUNDAI DEALERS ARE USING THOSE PARTS TO FIX CARS THAT ARE IN THEIR STOCK OF CURRENT INVENTORY, PERHAPS AT THE EXPENSE OF NOT HAVING THEM AVAILABLE TO FIX THOSE 2019 THROUGH 2021 MODELS. MY VEHICLE IS A HYUNDAI TUCSON FROM THE 2017 MODEL YEAR. I AM NOT COMFORTABLE WITH HAVING TO JUST "LIVE WITH" THIS POTENTIAL FIRE RISK UNTIL HYUNDAI COMES UP WITH A SOLUTION FOR MY MODEL YEAR, AND THEN COMES UP WITH THE NECESSARY PARTS TO MAKE THE REPAIRS. IF THEIR IS A RECALL FOR AN AUTOMOBILE, THERE SHOULD BE A SOLUTION READILY AVAILABLE FOR THE CONSUMER FROM THE MANUFACTURER.

UNABLE TO START VEHICLE, VEHICLE HAS A SMART KEY KEYLESS SYSTEM AND THE VEHICLE DOESN'T START THE ENGINE BECAUSE THE BRAKE PEDAL IS ROCK SOLID, THE CAR PUTS IN ACC AND ON BUT WILL NOT START THE ENGINE.

IT HAPPENS WHEN THE CAR HAS BEEN OFF FOR A LONG PERIOD OF TIME. HAS BEEN TAKEN TO THE DEALERSHIP BUT THEY ARE UNABLE TO DETECT THE CONDITION.

THE (HECU) HYDRAULIC ELECTRONIC CONTROL UNIT IS DEFECTIVE, CAUSING WIRES TO CORRODE & CAUSE A ELECTRICAL SHORT RESULTING IN COMPARTMENT ENGINE FIRES. I WAS TOLD THAT THERE IS NO SOLUTION TO REPAIR. I WAS TOLD NOT TO PARK MY VEHICLE IN MY GARAGE ANY LONGER BECAUSE A FIRE COULD HAPPEN EVEN IF THE VEHICLE IS NOT RUNNING. THEY OFFERED TO BUY MY VEHICLE BACK @ BLUE BOOK VALUE. MY VEHICLE IS PAID OFF & ONLY HAS 29,000 MILES ON IT & IN EXCELLENT CONDITION. I AM AT A LOSS TO FIGURE OUT WHAT TO DO ABOUT THIS ISSUE. I'M GOING TO CONTACT A LEMON LAW ATTORNEY TO SEE IF I CAN GET THE FULL PURCHASE PRICE OF THE VEHICLE REFUNDED TO ME & THEY CAN HAVE THE DEFECTIVE VEHICLE BACK . THE DEALERSHIP IS TRYING TO GET ME TO TRADE IN MY VEHICLE FOR A NEW VEHICLE, WHICH I DO NOT WANT TO DO .THE VEHICLE HAS ALWAYS BEEN PARKED IN THE GARAGE & NOW IS PARKED OUTSIDE ON THE DRIVEWAY BECAUSE OF THE FIRE DANGER.

FRONT PASSENGER'S DOOR TAKES MORE THAN ONE TRY TO OPEN. SAME PROBLEM HAPPENED TO THE DRIVER'S DOOR. VEHICLE WAS LOCKED AND STATIONARY BOTH TIMES. APPARENTLY THIS ISSUE IS PRETTY COMMON WHEN IT SHOULDN'T. IT'S A MAJOR SAFETY CONCERN AND I'M CONCERNED THAT ANOTHER ONE OF THE DOORS COULD FAIL TO OPEN DURING AN EMERGENCY.

WHEN DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY, DRIVER EXPERIENCED SUDDEN NUDGE AND WHITE SMOKE STARTED TO SHOW. ONCE PULLED OVER, DRIVER NOTICED THE CAR IS LEAKING. THE IGNITION WOULD NOT GO. IT WAS EXAMINED AND SHOWED THAT THE ROD PUNCTURED THE ENGINE AS WELL AS THE OIL FILTER, TRAILING OIL FOR MORE THAN A MILE. THE OIL WAS BURNING IN THE PUNCTURED ENGINE AND CAUSED THE SMOKE. THE CRANK SHAFT BROKE IN HALF NOT ALLOWING STARTER TO GO AS WELL.

MY 2017 HYUNDAI TUCSON CONSUMES MORE THAN 3 QUARTS OF OIL BETWEEN FILTER CHANGES. I NOTICED THE OIL CONSUMPTION AROUND 36K MILES. I HAVE TAKEN THE CAR TO SOUTHTOWN HYUNDAI (RIVERDALE, GA) MANY TIMES FOR THIS ISSUE. THE DEALER DID 3 OIL CONSUMPTION TEST, ALL FAILED. I WAS TOLD NOTHING CAN BE DONE AT THE MOMENT. I EVEN REACHED OUT TO CORPORATE, WITH NO RESPONSE BACK. THE VEHICLE CURRENTLY HAS 75K MILES ON THE ENGINE. PLEASE HELP.

I HAVE DONE A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF RESEARCH AND FOUND THAT THE HYUNDAI TUCSON HAS THREE POTENTIAL PROBLEMS THAT CAUSE THE ISSUES WITH THE STALLING/LOW POWER ON TAKEOFF. I BELIEVE THAT PART OF IT MIGHT BE THE TRANSMISSION NOT ENGAGING PROPERLY IN 1ST GEAR AND THAT SHOULD BE SOMETHING THEY CAN FIX WITH A COMPUTER UPDATE. THE SECOND FROM WHAT I'VE READ IS THAT THE FUEL TANK HAS A MATERIAL FLAKING OFF ON THE INSIDE OF THE FUEL TANK CAUSING THE FUEL FILTER TO BE DAMAGED/CLOGGED. THE THIRD AND FROM WHAT I HAVE READ, THE REASON SOME OF THE TUCSONS FAIL IS A BAD CRANK SHAFT. MY GUESS IS THAT THE BAD CRANK SHAFT HAPPENS OVER TIME AND THAT THE PROBLEMS START WITH THE FUEL CLOGS. THE FUEL SYSTEM NEEDS TO BE EXAMINED TO ENSURE THAT THE "FLAKING OFF" MATERIAL DEFECT INSIDE THE TANK IS NOT THE CAUSE OF THE FUEL FILTER BEING CLOGGED AND EVENTUALLY THE CAR FAILS. THE LOSS OF POWER IS SCARY AND DANGEROUS AND MUST BE RESOLVED. WOULDN'T IT BE CHEAPER IF HYUNDAI REPLACED ALL THE FUEL TANKS ON THE CARS WITH ONE THAT DOESN'T HAVE A DEFECTIVE MATERIAL COATED ON THE INSIDE OF THEM RATHER THAN REPLACE MOTORS AND KEEP DOING WORK ON THEM OVER AND OVER AND OVER?

WHEN ON ANY HILL (REVERSING OR FORWARD), IN HEAVY BUMPER TO BUMPER TRAFFIC, AND IN SOME INTERMITTENT SITUATIONS, THE VEHICLE EXPERIENCES A LOSS OF POWER. THE SCARIEST PART OF THIS IS THAT THE CAR JOLTS QUICKLY ONCE IT FINALLY "FINDS A GEAR" AND DECIDES TO GO. WHEN MY CAR DIES BECAUSE IT CAN'T DEAL WITH SLOWER BUMPER TO BUMPER TRAFFIC, THERE'S A PROBLEM! WHEN I'M TRYING TO BACKUP ON A HILL AND THERE'S AN OBJECT BEHIND ME AND I NEARLY HIT IT BECAUSE I CAN'T GET THE CAR TO GO, IT'S A PROBLEM. IT'S A MANUFACTURERS PROBLEM THAT YOU AND THEY KEEP IGNORING! JUST LIKE THE FIRES THAT THEY IGNORED FOR YEARS. THE DEALERSHIPS REPORT TO HUNDREDS OF CUSTOMERS THAT THIS IS NORMAL. IT IS NOT NORMAL. FROM WHAT I HAVE FOUND IN MY RESEARCH, IT'S CAUSED BY A COUPLE OF THINGS. THE FUEL FILTER IS CONSTANTLY DIRTY FROM WHATEVER FUEL TANK COATING HYUNDAI USED ON THE INSIDE OF THE FUEL TANK THAT IS FLAKING OFF. THE SECOND REASON IS A PROBLEM WITH THE DCT. IT SHOULD BE ENGAGING THE 1ST GEAR AND IT'S NOT. IT SHOULD BE SOMETHING AS SIMPLE AS AN UPDATE WITH THE COMPUTER SYSTEMS BUT HYUNDAI DOESN'T CARE ABOUT KEEPING THEIR CUSTOMERS SAFE. IT'S RIDICULOUS THAT HUNDREDS AND THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE COMPLAIN ABOUT THESE ISSUES AND NOTHING IS DONE. NOT AN INVESTIGATION UNTIL THEY GET ENOUGH AND SOMEONE PAYS A LAWYER TO DO IT.BECAUSE THIS HAPPENS ALL THE TIME, I AM PUTTING THE ESTIMATED DATE OF PURCHASE LIKE OTHER CUSTOMERS HAVE DONE ON HERE.

NHTSA #20V543000 RECALL NUMBER 195 STILL HAS NO REMEDY FOR THIS YEAR MODEL. THE DEALER I JUST BOUGHT MY VEHICLE FROM HAS 13/14 CERTIFIED PRE OWNED WITH OPEN RECALLS OF THIS NATURE. I PURCHASED AND THEN WAS TOLD I COULD NOT TAKE IT UNTIL THE RECALL WAS FIXED. UNDERSTANDABLE AND APPRECIATED. THE NEXT DAY NOBODY WOULD ANSWER MY TEXTS OR MESSAGES. UPON RESEARCHING I SEE WHY. OBVIOUSLY I DO NOT WANT TO DRIVE MY CHILD AROUND IN A 'NEW' VEHICLE THAT MIGHT CATCH FIRE. WHY DO YOU ALLOW THEM TO CONTINUE TO SELL THEM? WHY ISN'T THERE A REMEDY AFTER 2.5 YEARS?!?

ENGINE LOST OIL PRESSURE TO ROD BEARINGS. NO WARNING LIGHTS OF ANY KIND. THE CONNECTING ROD BEARINGS WERE VERY LOUD AND ENGINE STALLED A FEW TIMES. I HAD VEHICLE TOWED TO DEALERSHIP. THE SYMPTOMS CAME ON SUDDENLY, WITHOUT CHECK ENGINE CODES OR WARNINGS. THE FACTORY DENIED RESPONSIBILITY, SAYING THE WARRANTEE EXPIRED. I AM NOT CLAIMING WARRANTEE COVERAGE, BUT THE SYMPTOMS ARE VERY SIMILAR TO RECENT RECALL AND SAFETY RECALL ISSUES FOR WHICH NHTSA FINED HYUNDAI FOR NEGLIGENCE. NJ

HYUNDAI TUCSON 1.6L TURBO ENGINE BURNS OIL INTERNALLY BEFORE 3,000 MILE OIL EXCHANGE. STARTED AROUND 75K MILES. THE TRUCK HESITATES AND WANTS TO STALL. I HAVE TO ADD QUART OF OIL EVERY 2K MILES BEFORE OIL EXCHANGE. THERE IS NO VISIBLE OIL LEAKS. IGNITION COIL ERROR CODE DIAGNOSTICS POINT TO MIS-FIRING OF CYLINDER 2. REPLACED SPARK PLUGS AND SWITCH KNOWN GOOD IGNITION COIL BUT SAME ERROR CODE AND ENGINE LIGHT. THIS TRUCK MAKE, YEAR AND MODEL IS WELL KNOWN AT OIL EXCHANGE SERVICE CENTERS FOR RUNNING LOW ON OIL BECAUSE IT BURNS OIL UNKNOWINGLY TO IT'S VEHICLE OWNERS.

ENGINE FAILURE AT 121K MILES. I DRIVE LONG DISTANCES FOR WORK SO THE MILES ARE SUPER EASY NOT STOP AND GO. I NOTICED A KNOCKING NOISE AT CERTAIN THROTTLE PEDAL POSITIONS, I PULLED INTO A GAS STATION AND CHECKED THE OIL AND IT WAS BARELY TOUCHING THE DIP STICK SO I BOUGHT A QUART OF OIL AND THIS PUT THE LEVEL IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ACCEPTABLE RANGE ON THE DIP STICK. I PROCEEDED TO GET SOMEWHERE CLOSER TO MY HOME. AS I WAS DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND STARTED BLINKING SO I GOT OFF ONTO THE EXIT AND AT THE TOP THE MOTOR MADE A HARD NOISE AND STOPPED AND ALL THE LIGHTS CAME ON THE DASH AND SMOKE CAME FROM UNDER THE CAR. THERE WAS OIL ON THE GROUND SO I ASSUME THE OIL PAN HAD A HOLE FROM A ROD FAILURE. I CHANGE MY OWN OIL EVERY 7500N MILES WHEN THE FACTORY SETTING TELLS ME IT'S TIME. I USE MOBIL 1 SYNTHETIC OIL AND A GOOD FILTER EVERY TIME. I HAD THE OIL CHANGED THE FIRST TIME AT HYUNDAI OF ONTARIO, CALIF AND THE SECOND TIME AT JIFFY LUBE IN REDLANDS, CA. THE PRICE FOR SYNTHETIC OIL CHANGE WAS RIDICULOUS WHEN I CAN DO IT FOR HALF MINIMUM. HYUNDAI HAS SAID SINCE I HAVE NO INVOICES FOR OIL CHANGES THEY WILL NOT COVER MOTOR FULLY? I KNOW THE COMPUTER CAN BE ACCESSED TO SEE THE DATES WHEN I RESET THE METER MILES. I KNOW SINCE DOING MY RESEARCH HYUNDAI HAS HAD THE VERY SAME PROBLEMS WITH PRIOR YEAR CARS. I BELIEVE THEY SHOULD PAY FOR THIS PROBLEM A CAR LIKE THIS SHOULD LAST WELL INTO 200 TO 300K MILES WHEN TAKEN CARE OF PROPERLY. I HAVE HAD A HONDA AND TOYOTA THAT DID HIGH MILEAGE WITH NO PROBLEMS. HYUNDAI STILL HAS A PROBLEM WITH THE 2.0 LITER MOTORS. THE WARRANTY NEEDS TO BE MADE LONGER TO 200K MILES IF THEY HAVE REALLY FIXED THE PROBLEM WITH THIS MOTOR. I WILL NEVER BUY OR RECOMMEND A HYUNDAI VEHICLE TO ANYONE!

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 HYUNDAI TUCSON. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AND ATTEMPTING TO MAKE A LEFT TURN, THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED AND THE VEHICLE STALLED AND SHUT-OFF IN THE MIDDLE OF THE TURN. THE VEHICLE COASTED ACROSS THE STREET TO AVOID ONCOMING TRAFFIC. THE VEHICLE WAS RESTARTED AND DRIVEN TO HIS DESTINATION. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO GERALD HYUNDAI (209 HANSEN BOULEVARD, NORTH AURORA, IL 60542, (877) 781-4106) WHERE THE MECHANIC TEST DROVE THE VEHICLE HOWEVER, COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE FAILURE. AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WAS CONTACTED AND THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE FAILURE WAS POSSIBLY CAUSED BY THE DUAL CLUTCH SYSTEM. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND INFORMED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 12,000.

WHEN AT A STOP, LIKE A STOP SIGN, WHEN PUTTING FOOT ON THE GAS, CAR WILL GO FORWARD, AND THEN NOT CONTINUE GOING, IT WILL REV AND THEN KICK INTO GEAR, LUNGING FORWARD. VERY DANGEROUS IN MY OPINION.

OUR 2017 HYUNDAI TUCSON IS GOING THROUGH A LOT OF OIL. WE ARE HAVING A CONSUMPTION TEST DONE. I CALLED THE HYUNDAI DEALER WHERE WE HAD THE OIL CHANGE AND HE SAID HE HEARD SOMETHING ABOUT HYUNDAI TUCSON'S BURNING THROUGH A LOT OF OIL. I DID SEE A LAWSUIT FOR THE 2016 MODELS AND THINK 2017 MODELS ARE HAVING SIMILAR ISSUE. OUR SEAT RECLINING ELECTRICAL BUTTON IS ALSO FAILING THE SEAT TO RECLINE PROPERLY.

TRAVELING ON AN EXIT RAMP OFF THE HIGHWAY THE ENGINE FAILED COMPLETELY. I HAD TO CASH IT DOWN AND RESTART THE VEHICLE. PROCEEDING ON THE NEXT HIGHWAY THE CAR CONTINUALLY STALLED APPROXIMATELY 10 TIMES BEFORE FINDING A SAFE PULLOVER; PUTTING MYSELF AND OTHER LIVES AT RISK. I TAKE EXCELLENT CARE OF MY VEHICLE FOLLOWING ALL MAINTENANCE GUIDELINES TO KEEP A HAPPY AND HEALTHY VEHICLE. IT'S A HUGE DISAPPOINTMENT THAT AFTER JUST A FEW WEEKS SHORT OF THREE YEARS OF OWNERSHIP I'M TOLD THE ENGINE BLEW 'FOR NO REASON - THESE THINGS JUST HAPPEN'.

VEHICLE STALLED 2/21/2020 AT A STOP LIGHT AND LEFT ME STRANDED RESULTING IN A TOW TO THE DEALERSHIP. AFTER LENGTHY PROCESS WITH HYUNDAI CORP AND DEALERSHIP, I WAS FORCED TO PURCHASE NEW ENGINE SINCE THEY CLAIM MY INCIDENT DOES NOT FALL UNDER WARRANTY DUE TO "OUTSIDE INFLUENCES" SINCE HYUNDAI DID NOT WANT TO OWN UP TO A DESIGN FLAW THAT HAS NOW RESULTED IN A RECALL OF THOUSANDS OF VEHICLES. NEW ENGINE STILL STALLS WHEN TRYING TO ACCELERATE, BUT HAS NOT LEFT ME STRANDED YET. THIS WILL BE MY LAST HYUNDAI FROM SEVERAL INTERACTIONS REGARDING THIS INCIDENT. HYUNDAI NEEDS TO OWN UP TO THESE SAFETY ISSUES IN ALL THEIR ENGINES ACROSS ALL YEARS. THE 2016 AND 2017 TUSCON'S ARE EXPERIENCING THE EXACT SAME PROBLEMS AS THE 2014, 2015, 2018, AND 2016 MODELS.
