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.

TOOK THE VEHICLE TO GET THE SUBJECT 195 ( 20V543000) RECALL PERFORMED. UPON ARRIVING TO HALL HYUNDAI IN NEWPORT NEWS, THEY INFORMED ME THAT PARTS WERE NOT AVAILABLE. I PREVIOUSLY ASKED THEM UPON MAKING THE APPOINTMENT IF THEY HAD PARTS IN STOCK. THEY ASSURED ME THEY DID. PRIOR TO THIS, I ATTEMPTED TO HAVE THE RECALL PERFORMED AT PEARSON HYUNDAI IN RICHMOND, VA ON TWO SEPARATE OCCASIONS. I CALLED THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT A COUPLE WEEKS PRIOR TO THE APPOINTMENTS TO ENSURE THEY HAD PARTS, EACH TIME I WAS TOLD THEY DID. HOWEVER, UPON ARRIVING EACH TIME THE INFORMED ME THEY HAD NO PARTS. I WAS ALSO TOLD BY A PARTS WORKER THAT THE DEALERSHIP WAS PUTTING ANY NEW PARTS RECEIVED INTO THE VEHICLES ON THE LOT SO THEY CAN BE SOLD. THIS VEHICLE REMAINS A SAFETY CONCERN SINCE MULTIPLE DEALERSHIPS DO NOT HAVE THE PARTS TO REPAIR.

I MADE AN APPOINTMENT WITH O'BRIEN HYUNDAU OF FORT MYERS, FL ON 1/13/2021 FOR NHTSA RECAL 20V-543 ABS-ANTILOCK BRAKE SYSTEM RECALL. WHEN I ARRIVED AT THE DEALER TO HAVE A NEW ABS SYSTEM PART INSTALLED, THEY SAID THEY DID NOT HAVE THAT PART IN STOCK. THEY SAID THEY WOULD NOTIFY ME WHEN IT WAS IN STOCK. ON 3/1/2021, I CONTACTED THE DEALER(O"BRIEN HYUNDIA OF FORT MYERS) BECAUSE I HAD NOT HESRD ANYTHING FROM THEM SINCE 1/13/2021. I ASKED THEM WHEN THE ABS PART WOULD BE IN FOR THE RECALL. AGAIN, THEY SAID THAT THEY DID NOT HAVE THE PART AND WOULD NOTIFY ME WHEN THEY HAD IT. I AM VERY CONCERNED THAT THIS RECALL CAN NOT BE FIXED BY THE DESLER, BECAUSE IT IS A SERIOUS PROBLEM AND CAN START A FIRE IN THE VEHICLE.

MY 2019 TUCSON HAS BEEN GETTING HORRIBLE GAS MILEAGE AND ALSO MAKING SOME STRANGE NOISES THAT I'M UNSURE OF WHAT THEY ARE. IT'S ALSO ACTING LIKE IT HAS NO POWER INSTALLING ON A PRETTY REGULAR BASIS SINCE THE DEALERSHIP HAS STATED NOTHING'S WRONG WITH IT AND MY VEHICLE HEALTH REPORT CONTINUES TO STATE NOTHING IS WRONG I DECIDED TO GET A OBD2 ADAPTER TO PLACE ON IT SO I COULD SEE WHAT WAS HAPPENING. WHILE THE VEHICLE IS RUNNING AT IDLE DOESN'T MATTER IF IT IS COLD OR WARM THE THROTTLE BODY SENSOR DOES NOT GO UNDER A 10 SO IT'S OBVIOUSLY STICKING I DON'T KNOW IF IT IS DEFECTIVE OR IF IT'S BEEN LIKE THAT FOR SOME TIME BUT IF THE THROTTLE BODY IS STUCK THEN THAT'S GOING TO CAUSE IT TO STALL THAT'S GOING TO MAKE IT BURN MORE GAS THAT'S GOING TO MAKE IT RUN PRETTY CRAPPY AND BE KIND OF HIT AND MISS. THE VEHICLE'S BRAKES ARE ALWAYS GRINDING AND SQUEALING. THERE IS ALSO A WINE AND A TAPPING CLICKING SOUND COMING FROM UNDER THE HOOD I DON'T KNOW IF IT'S A BAD PULLEY OR BEARING OR A LOOSE HEAT SHIELD OR WHATEVER BUT IT'S NOT INJECTORS THERE'S SOMETHING UNDER IT. THE RPMS ARE CONTINUOUSLY GETTING STUCK THE GAUGES ARE GETTING STUCK, THIS CAR MALFUNCTIONS EVERY DAY.
