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.

THE WINDSHIELD ON MY 2020 HYUNDAI TUSCON ALL OF SUDDEN HAS A CRACK LONGER THAN 2 DOLLAR BILLS AND IT KEEPS GROWING. STARTED ON THE PASSENGER SIDE, MAKING IT'S WAY TO THE DRIVERS SIDE. YOU DO NOT FEEL THE CRACK ON THE INSIDE OR OUTSIDE OF THE WINDSHIELD, IT SEEMS TO BE IN THE MIDDLE,. MY CAR WAS STATIONARY AT THE TIME, NO OBJECTS HAVE HIT THE WINDSHIELD WHILE DRIVING.

SUV HAS BEEN IN SHOP 4 TIMES DUE TO LOUD CRACKING POP NOISE COMING FROM PANORAMIC SUN ROOF. I KNOW THERE WAS A RECALL ON THIS EXACT ISSUE, THEN THE WINDOWS WOULD EXPLODE. APPARENTLY HYUNDAI HAS NOT FIXED THE PROBLEM, I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE THE CAR, AND WANT MY MONEY BACK OR A NEW CAR. SEE MY HYUNDAI DOCUMENTATION PAPER AS AN ATTACHMENT. SUV IS IN SHOP PRESENTLY #4 FOR SAME REASON. *TR

THE BACKUP CAMERA IS BLURRY AND FUZZY DURING THE DAY AND EVEN WORSE AT NIGHT. ALMOST USELESS AT NIGHT TIME. THE CAMERA SYSTEM IS SUPPOSED TO BE A SAFETY FEATURE BUT IT IS NOT VERY GOOD WHEN YOU CAN'T MAKE OUT OBJECTS AND THERE ISN'T A WARNING NOISE WHEN YOU ARE ABOUT TO BACK UP INTO SOMETHING. I HAVE TAKEN TO SERVICE DEPT AT DEALERSHIP 3 TIMES NOW AND THEY HAVE INSTALLED A NEW CAMERA AND IT IS STILL THE SAME AS THE FIRST ONE. I THINK HYUNDAI NEEDS TO GET A MUCH BETTER QUALITY CAMERA SYSTEM FOR THE 2020 HYUNDAI TUCSON ULTIMATES. I WAS AT WALMART 3 NIGHTS AGO BACKING OUT OF A PARKING SPACE AND DID NOT SEE THE LADY WALKING BEHIND MY CAR B/C THE CAMERA SYSTEM IS HORRIBLE AT NIGHT TIME.
