Overview
- The recall covers 96,310 2025–2026 Tucson, Tucson Hybrid, and Tucson Plug‑In Hybrid vehicles because the digital instrument cluster can intermittently reboot and go blank while the vehicle is in use.
- NHTSA says the loss of the cluster display can remove critical driving information such as the speedometer and fuel gauge, making the cars noncompliant with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards.
- Hyundai traced the fault to a communication error in software logic between the instrument cluster and the head‑up display that can trigger the reboots.
- Affected owners will be notified and Hyundai will provide a software update that technicians can install at dealerships or that can be delivered over the air for vehicles enrolled in Hyundai Bluelink.
- The issue was opened for investigation after a customer report and, to date, no crashes or injuries have been reported; the recall highlights broader safety risks tied to complex digital dashboards and connected‑vehicle software.
