2023: Hyundai Recalls

Last update 16. 02. 2024

7 recalls for 7 Hyundai models in 2023

Hyundai has seven recalls for seven models in the EU Safety Gate (formerly Rapex) system for 2023. Hyundai moved from thirteenth to fourteenth place in the overall ranking year-on-year.

Hyundai’s most recalled model is the Kona SUV, with three recalls. The Santa Fe was called into the workshops twice. The oldest recalled Hyundais are from 2017.

Safety Gate does not provide the numbers of potentially affected cars in its reports, so we always verify them from other sources. Since the beginning of 2023, we have also been monitoring the database of the German Federal Motor Transport Authority (KBA, Kraftfahrt-Bundesamt), which publishes the numbers and often also includes Hyundai recalls that Safety Gate often does not record. Some of them can be found below. Also new is a link to our other website with Hyundai recalls in the USA.

Hyundai recalls in the United States

Another new feature for 2023 was the launch of our sister site car-recalls.com, featuring (not only) Hyundai U.S. recalls.

Check also the Service Bulletin (TSB)

This summary is not intended to provide comprehensive information on all Hyundai recalls in 2023. Only those that have been reported to the European Safety Gate alert system are listed. In addition to recalls, car manufacturers also carry out so-called service campaigns (Technical Service Bulletin – TSB), which are not reported anywhere and are only carried out on vehicles that arrive at an authorised workshop for servicing. We describe the difference between a recall and a service campaign in more detail in this article. This overview should prompt second-hand owners of older cars to contact an authorised workshop and ask if any recall or service campaign has been announced for a particular car. We advise how to do this here.

Tip: Check the vehicle’s history by VIN
