Hyundai vehicles instrument panel display software error recall

Hyundai is recalling certain 2025–2026 Tucson Hybrid, Tucson PHEV, and other 2026 models due to a software error that may cause the instrument panel display to fail, potentially hiding critical safety information like the speedometer and warning lights.

What this means for you

Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.

Our severity reasoning: The source states that a failing instrument panel display "increases the risk of a crash" and involves failure to comply with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 101. No deaths or injuries are reported in the source text. This is a structural/safety system defect with potential for harm, meeting the rubric criterion for High severity where injury has not yet been reported but the risk is significant.

Plain-English summary

Hyundai Motor America is recalling certain 2025 Tucson Hybrid, 2025 Tucson Plug-In Hybrid Electric (PHEV), and multiple 2026 models including Tucson, Tucson Hybrid, Tucson PHEV, IONIQ 5, Santa Cruz, Kona, Palisade, Palisade Hybrid, Santa Fe, Santa Fe Hybrid, Sonata, and Sonata Hybrid vehicles. The recall affects approximately 41,651 units.

A software error in the instrument panel display may cause it to fail. When the display fails, it may not show critical safety information such as the speedometer or warning lights, which increases the risk of a crash.
