Which vehicles
A recall reaches a range of VINs inside these model years, not every car built in them. Yours may not be covered even if it is listed here, and the only way to find out is NHTSA's own VIN lookup .
How this campaign compares
At 357,348 vehicles this is a bigger campaign than 97% of the 19,818 vehicle recalls filed since 1995 whose size NHTSA published. The middle campaign on file covers 472. It covers model years 2014 to 2019, so the oldest vehicles on it were 8 model years old when the defect was reported to NHTSA.
Hyundai vehicles have been recalled over the service brakes, hydraulic 18 times before this, most recently in December 2021 as 21V937000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
This site holds the complaint record for all 8 model years the campaign names. Their owners have filed 2,416 complaints with NHTSA, 694 of them before this campaign was filed. 218 of those name the service brakes, hydraulic, the system this recall is about — a count of complaints, not of this defect. The earliest of them reached NHTSA in May 2014, 7 years before this filing.
The vehicles on this campaign carry one other recall published here: 22V810000 (service brakes, hydraulic).
Check your own car
A VIN check is the only answer for a specific vehicle, and it also shows every other open recall on it, which is usually the reason it is worth doing rather than reading one campaign.
