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 41,651 vehicles this is a bigger campaign than 88% of the 19,818 vehicle recalls filed since 1995 whose size NHTSA published. The middle campaign on file covers 472. It covers model years 2025 to 2026, so the oldest vehicles on it were one model year old when the defect was reported to NHTSA.
Hyundai vehicles have been recalled over the electrical system 29 times before this, most recently in October 2025 as 25V659000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
This site holds the complaint record for 8 of the 14 model years the campaign names. Their owners have filed 388 complaints with NHTSA, 108 of them before this campaign was filed. 105 of those name the electrical system, the system this recall is about — a count of complaints, not of this defect. The earliest of them reached NHTSA in October 2024, 1 year before this filing.
The vehicles on this campaign carry 11 other recalls published here, the newest being: 26V452000 (seat belts), 26V400000 (electrical system), 26V316000 (forward collision avoidance), 26V254000 (air bags).
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 January 27, 2026 as campaign 26V047000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
