- What the dealer does
- Dealers will inspect and replace the front strut assembly fasteners and perform a wheel alignment, as necessary, free of charge.

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.
| Vehicle | Model years | Safety record |
|---|---|---|
| Hyundai Elantra | 2026 | Not published here |
| Hyundai Tucson Hybrid | 2026 | 2026 |
How this campaign compares
At 24 vehicles this is a small campaign: 85% of the 19,913 vehicle recalls with a published size filed from 1995 up to this one are as large or larger. The middle campaign among them covers 472. It covers one model year, 2026, and the defect was reported to NHTSA in 2026, at or before the oldest model year it covers — as current as a recall gets.
Hyundai vehicles have been recalled over the suspension 16 times before this, most recently in May 2026 as 26V314000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
This site holds the complaint record for 1 of the 2 model years the campaign names. Their owners have filed 34 complaints with NHTSA, 27 of them before this campaign was filed.
The vehicles on this campaign carry 5 other recalls published here, the newest being: 26V693000 (wheels), 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 October 20, 2026 as campaign 26V692000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
