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 6 vehicles this is a small campaign: 94% 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 model years 2023 to 2024, so the oldest vehicles on it were 3 model years old when the defect was reported to NHTSA.
Hyundai vehicles have been recalled over the electrical system 33 times before this, most recently in June 2026 as 26V400000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
This site holds the complaint record for all 2 model years the campaign names. Their owners have filed 607 complaints with NHTSA, 591 of them before this campaign was filed. 446 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 March 2023, 3 years before this filing.
The vehicles on this campaign carry 3 other recalls published here: 24V868000 (electrical system), 24V204000 (electrical system), 24V065000 (power train).
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.
