Hyundai Recalls More Than 96,000 Tucson SUVs Over Dashboard Reboot Fault

A software communication error can make the digital instrument cluster reboot and go blank, removing speed and warning displays and prompting a federal safety recall.

Overview

  • The recall covers about 96,310 vehicles including 2025–2026 Hyundai Tucson, Tucson Hybrid and Tucson Plug‑In Hybrid models that may experience a dashboard reboot while driving.
  • Hyundai says a communication fault between the instrument panel cluster and the head‑up display can cause the digital dashboard to temporarily go blank, preventing drivers from seeing speed, fuel level and warning alerts.
  • There are no confirmed U.S. crashes, fires, injuries or deaths tied to the defect, according to Hyundai and the NHTSA recall notice.
  • Hyundai will provide free instrument cluster software updates through dealers and will offer over‑the‑air updates for eligible Bluelink subscribers, with dealer and owner notifications to follow.
  • Owners can check whether their vehicle is included by searching their VIN or license plate on NHTSA.gov and should follow Hyundai's repair instructions once notified because modern dashboards rely on networked software for critical driving information.
