How this campaign compares
At 10 vehicles this is a small campaign: 92% of the 19,818 vehicle recalls filed since 1995 whose size NHTSA published are as large or larger. The middle campaign on file covers 472. It covers one model year, 2025, and the defect was reported to NHTSA in 2025, at or before the oldest model year it covers — as current as a recall gets.
Hyundai vehicles have been recalled over the electrical system 26 times before this, most recently in February 2025 as 25V064000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
This site holds the complaint record for all 1 model year the campaign names. Their owners have filed 290 complaints with NHTSA, 8 of them before this campaign was filed. 221 of those name the electrical system, the system this recall is about — a count of complaints, not of this defect.
The vehicles on this campaign carry 8 other recalls published here, the newest being: 26V314000 (suspension), 26V068000 (electrical system), 25V797000 (seat belts), 25V605000 (suspension).
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 Motor America with NHTSA on July 24, 2025 as campaign 25V482000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
