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.
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."
Hyundai Motor Company (Hyundai) is recalling certain model year 2016 Tucson vehicles manufactured May 20, 2015 through May 31, 2016 and equipped with a 7-speed EcoShift Dual Clutch Transmission. Certain driving conditions and high temperatures may cause the vehicle to not move if the accelerator pedal is pressed and released repeatedly.
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.
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."
Description of Defect: Progressive, complete failure of all four (4) power window regulators on a low-mileage 2016 Hyundai Tucson (~29,848 miles). Three windows failed in rapid succession, followed by the fourth, rendering all power windows completely inoperable. Safety Hazard: The inability to operate any window creates a dangerous safety risk during driving and emergency situations, including restricted egress during a crash, lack of cabin ventilation in high heat, and inability to clear windshield/window fogging or signal outside the vehicle. Manufacturer Response: Inspected by Hyundai dealer (Repair Order #348315). Hyundai Corporate (Case #42475291) acknowledged the issue and offered a 50% goodwill cost share, confirming a known premature component failure, but refused 100% repair coverage. My Tucson has roughly 29,848 miles. A simultaneous failure of the entire system at 30k miles is a clear material or manufacturing defect, not user wear-and-tear. Having all windows permanently failed poses an immediate safety hazard regarding emergency egress, vehicle security, and cabin environment management. Safety implications of total window failure while driving: - Emergency Egress & Rescue: In a rollover, severe crash, or submerged vehicle event, non-functioning windows restrict emergency egress and impede rescue personnel. - Cabin Ventilation & Visibility: Inoperable windows prevent defogging or quick ventilation during extreme heat, electrical smoke, or toxic air exposure. - Driver Communication: Inability to roll down windows prevents using hand signals if turn signals/brake lights malfunction, or communicating with emergency responders or law enforcement. The vehicle was inspected at Ourisman Hyundai in Laurel Maryland under Repair Order #348315 and Hyundai Corporate Case #42475291.

The transmission warning light illuminated. Additionally, the rear driver's and rear passenger's side doors failed to open. The dealer was notified of the failure but informed the contact that there was no recall associated with the VIN. The contact associated the failure with NHTSA Campaign Number: 16V628000 (Power Train, Electrical System); however, the VIN was not included in the recall.

Repeated Window Regulator Failures on 2016 Hyundai Tucson To Whom It May Concern, I am the owner of a 2016 Hyundai Tucson with approximately 54,000 miles. I am writing to request goodwill assistance regarding repeated failures of the vehicle's power window regulators. Over the past year and a half, all four power window regulators have failed, one after another. In each case, the failure appears to be related to the plastic wheel pulley/drum gear spool component within the regulator assembly. The failures have occurred at relatively low mileage and under normal vehicle use. The repair cost quoted by my Hyundai dealer is approximately $500 per window, resulting in a substantial financial burden for what appears to be a recurring component defect rather than normal wear and tear. I understand that my vehicle is outside the standard warranty period. However, I believe it is reasonable to expect window regulator components to last significantly longer than 54,000 miles. The fact that all four regulators have experienced similar failures suggests a systemic quality or durability issue with this component. I have been a Hyundai owner in good faith and am disappointed that such a widespread failure has occurred on a vehicle with relatively low mileage. Given the repeated nature of the problem, I respectfully request that Hyundai Motor America review my case and consider one or more of the following: •Goodwill coverage for future regulator repairs. •Reimbursement for repairs already completed. •Provision of replacement parts at no cost. •Any other form of customer assistance Hyundai deems appropriate.
