What to do about Vehicle

Hyundai — This recall covers a safety defect reported to NHTSA. Whether yours is affected depends on the VIN, not the model year alone.

  1. Read the summary above for the component involved — it determines how urgent this is for you.
  2. Call any franchised dealer for the brand, give them the campaign number from this page, and ask them to confirm parts are in stock before you book — part supply, not labour, is what delays a fresh recall.
  3. If the notice names a symptom you have already noticed, mention it when you book.
  4. Keep the repair order the dealer hands you. It is your proof the campaign was closed out, and it matters at resale.

Getting the repair booked and paid for

The money side of a vehicle recall is simple. The scheduling side is where people lose weeks.

  • Ask whether the parts are physically in stock before you accept a date. A booking without parts is a wasted morning.
  • If the dealer says the remedy is not yet available, ask to be put on their notification list and get that in writing by email.
  • Where the manufacturer has issued an interim measure — park outside, do not drive, a software limiter — follow it until the full remedy is done.
  • Reimbursement claims for earlier out-of-pocket repairs go to the manufacturer, not the dealer, and need the original itemised invoice.

Remedy named in the notice: Dealers will apply an adhesive on the charging port door assembly, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed beginning October 10, 2025. Owners may contact Hyundai customer service at 1-855-371-9460. Hyundai's number for this recall is 282. Vehicle Identification Numbers (VINs) involved in this recall became searchable on NHTSA.gov on September 13, 2025.
