On December 30, 2020, Hyundai expanded the recall population, and added certain 2016-2018 Tucson vehicles.

Recall repairs will be performed free of charge. Owners are advised to park outside and away from structures as a precaution until the recall repair is complete. The recall began November 2, 2020.

Issue: On certain vehicles, the compliance label may be missing information in French. The words listed on the label for "Tires", "Rims", "Front" and "Rear" appear in English only, when they should be listed as "Tires/Pneus", "Rims/Jantes", "Front/Avant" and "Rear/Arriere". Canadian regulations require this information to be listed on the label in both English and French. Safety Risk: These small errors do not affect vehicle safety. Corrective Actions: This is not a recall. The company has corrected the compliance label for all new vehicles.
Issue: Hyundai Auto Canada is conducting a Product Improvement Campaign that provides an update to the engine control module to detect potential problems before an engine fails. An engine failure would cause a sudden loss of power with an inability to restart. Note: This only affects certain vehicles equipped with a 2.0 L Nu GDI engine. For the Sonata model, only the Sonata Hybrid and Plug-In Hybrid (PHEV) models are affected by this campaign. This is an expansion of R0180 (Transport Canada #2021-575). Any vehicle that received a software update under campaign R0180 does not require this update. Safety Risk: A sudden loss of engine power could increase the risk of an accident. An engine failure could also create the risk of a fire. Corrective Actions: Hyundai will notify owners by mail and advise you to take your vehicle to a dealer to update the software for the engine control module. Note: Hyundai recommends that you should always follow the correct vehicle maintenance schedule, which is printed in the Owner's Manual. If you experience unusual engine noise, reduced power, or a check engine/oil warning light, Hyundai advises you to immediately visit a Hyundai dealership to have your vehicle diagnosed.

Incorrect installation of the curtain airbag can impede deployment in the event of an accident, increasing the risk of injuries to occupants. Production: 13.04.2021 - 21.08.2023. Types: NX4e; e5*2018/858*00001*.
The oil supply to the engine may be interrupted, causing sudden damage to the engine. In addition, the brake booster may fail, which would lead to a significantly higher braking effort, increasing the risk of an accident. Production: 23.10.2018 - 27.10.2020. Types: PDE, TLE; e5*2007/46*1075*, e5*2007/46*1076*.
The tandem pump pre-filter may be sealed by fibres from the tandem pump belt. This may cause tightening of the brake pedal impeding normal braking, which can cause an accident. Production: Tucson: 23.10.2018 - 27 .10.2020; i30: 25.10.2018 - 15.07.2020. Types: i30: e11*2007/46*3807*, e5*2007/46*1075*; Tuscon: e5*2007/46*1076*.
