Hyundai Recall FAQs

When you experience a Hyundai recall, the situation can be slightly unnerving. Finding out a major component in your vehicle is flawed can be stressful, especially considering how you repair the issue. Luckily, Hyundai handles all of this at no cost to you. Manufacturing millions of vehicles sometimes means defective components make it through to a final production model, but usually, these flaws are minor and pose no threat to Harrisburg drivers. Find out what to do if there’s a recall on your Hyundai and how to access Hyundai recall checks.

Hyundai Recall Check by VIN

When Hyundai vehicles go through the manufacturing process, each one receives a unique VIN to help identify them in certain situations. Every VIN is unique, but certain model years have certain series in common to identify them separately from other release years. Learn how to use your VIN to check for Hyundai recalls below:

1. Locate the VIN on your Hyundai model. It’s on a metal plate at the bottom left side of your windshield where the glass meets your dashboard. If you can’t see it from here, it’s also printed on a sticker on the outer edge of your driver’s side door.
2. Navigate to this website and input the VIN to find out if any Hyundai recalls were issued for your specific model.
3. If there is a recall, Newville drivers can schedule service at our location and have the issue repaired free of charge.

What’s an Open Recall On a Hyundai?

When there’s a recall on your Hyundai, sometimes you’ll hear the term “open recall.” Find out what this term means below so you know what protocol to follow if your VIN is identified under this designation:

• The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is the entity that determines if a vehicle part or equipment compromises safety or doesn’t meet minimum safety requirements. When this happens, a safety recall is issued.
• There are incomplete recalls (which need to be addressed) and unremedied recalls, meaning there’s no current fix for the problem.
• Recalls never expire. However, you must have the issue repaired promptly to avoid further complications.
