Hyundai recalled nearly 100,000 SUVs over concerns that the instrument panel could reboot while the vehicle was being driven, which would mean the driver would have no way of knowing how fast they were going or how much gas they had, among other issues.
Big picture view:
The recall covers three versions of its 2025-2026 Hyundai Tucson, one of the Korean automaker’s most popular models.
By the numbers:
In a report to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, the company listed the types of Tucsons included and how many of each model were affected:
- Hyundai Tucson Plug-in Hybrid - 2,819
- Hyundai Tucson Hybrid - 53,886
- Hyundai Tucson (non-hybrid) - 39,605
In total, 96,310 vehicles were included in the recall.
Why you should care:
In its report, Hyundai explained that an instrument panel reboot would mean the driver would not be able to see the speedometer, the gas gauge, or other warning lights. Additionally, the heads-up display would no longer work.
