STRUCTURE
- The defect
- Hyundai Translead is recalling certain 2022-2024 CGN3-20/40 and CGNS-20/40 12-Pin extended chassis. The cross braces located above the chassis air tanks may have been improperly welded.
- What it can cause
- An improperly welded cross brace can detach from the vehicle, creating a road hazard. A falling cross brace may also damage the air tank airline, causing an unintended brake lock. Both scenarios can increase the risk of a crash.
- What the dealer does
- Owners are advised not to drive their vehicles until the repair has been performed. Hyundai Translead will work with owners and repair shops to apply welds and install brackets on cross braces, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed October 19, 2023. Owners may contact Hyundai Translead customer service at 1-800-251-0871.
- NHTSA's note
- Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.nhtsa.gov.
The repair is free, whatever the age or mileage of the vehicle, and whether or not you are the original owner.
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 562 vehicles this is a bigger campaign than 52% of the 19,818 vehicle recalls filed since 1995 whose size NHTSA published. The middle campaign on file covers 472. It covers model years 2022 to 2024, so the oldest vehicles on it were one model year old when the defect was reported to NHTSA.
Hyundai Translead vehicles have been recalled over the structure 3 times before this, most recently in September 2019 as 19V658000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
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.
Filed by Hyundai Translead with NHTSA on October 12, 2023 as campaign 23V685000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
