Hyundai Model Recall FAQs

What is a Recall?

A vehicle recall occurs when a manufacturer determines a model within their lineup has safety issues. They then issue a notice for all owners of said vehicle to bring their vehicles back to the service center so a service team can fix the problems. Generally speaking, vehicle recalls can be issued at any time and can be found anywhere. Regardless of where you first see the recall for your vehicle, you should take it seriously.

Please also keep in mind that the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) can issue recalls if the manufacturer fails to do so. Most decisions to issue a recall happen independently of the NHTSA. However, they can still play a part in issuing a recall if necessary.

What Happens if My Hyundai Receives a Recall?

While recalls do happen, they are nothing to be afraid of if you promptly fix the issue near the Tri-County area. If your new Hyundai receives a recall for a safety issue, bringing your vehicle into a service center as soon as possible is the best response. This ensures you can fix the issue quickly and keep your safety a priority.

We recommend giving our service center a call and scheduling service. Customers can also schedule service online from their homes or office. We also suggest you double-check your warranty information, which may cover the recall.

Is it a Good Idea to Purchase a Vehicle with a Recall On it?

Recalls may be important to pay attention to, but only when you already own the vehicle. If you aim to bring home a new Hyundai but discover it has a recall on it, you can leave your worries behind. Any dealership is required to service and fix a vehicle if it has a recall or other issue. Essentially, it is well worth your time to consider a new model with a recall on it, as the dealership will fix the issue for you before you officially bring it home.
