WHEELS:LUGS/NUTS/BOLTS/STUDS
- The defect
- Hyundai Motor America (Hyundai) is recalling certain 2026 Venue, Elantra N, Elantra Hybrid, and Elantra vehicles. The wheel lug nuts may loosen and allow the wheel to detach.
- What it can cause
- Wheel detachment can cause a loss of vehicle control or create a road hazard, increasing the risk of a crash or injury.
- What the dealer does
- Dealers will inspect and tighten the wheel assembly lug nuts, and replace the hub bearing assembly, as necessary, free of charge. Owner notification letters are expected to be mailed December 19, 2026. Owners may contact Hyundai customer service at 1-855-371-9460. Hyundai's number for this recall is 310. Vehicle Identification Numbers (VINs) involved in this recall will become searchable on NHTSA.gov on October 23, 2026.
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 17 vehicles this is a small campaign: 88% of the 19,921 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 wheels once before this, most recently in October 2019 as 19V720000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
The vehicles on this campaign carry 3 other recalls published here: 26V692000 (suspension), 26V308000 (electrical system), 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 21, 2026 as campaign 26V693000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
