Hyundai and Genesis recalls 2026

Every vehicle safety recall in the United States is filed with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration under a campaign number, setting out the defect, the risk it creates and the remedy in the manufacturer's own words. This page reads those records for Hyundai and Genesis and lists every campaign filed in 2026, newest first, whatever the model year. Genesis is included because Hyundai Motor America files its recalls, and one campaign covers both brands.

19 campaigns have been filed so far in 2026, covering about 1.8 million vehicles when each campaign is counted separately. The largest is 26V034000 of January 23: 568,576 Palisade SUVs from the 2020 to 2025 model years whose side curtain air bags for third-row passengers may deploy improperly in a crash. The next is 26V316000 of May 19, 423,062 Santa Cruz and Tucson models whose front camera software can make the collision avoidance system brake unexpectedly.

Three problems recur. Three campaigns, two on Hyundai models and one on Genesis, cover instrument panel displays that can fail because of a software error, fixed over the air or at a dealer. Three cover seat belts: rear buckles on the Kona and the Palisade, and front belt anchors that may detach on the Ioniq 6, Santa Fe and Genesis G90. One, filed on September 11, covers the second-row power seats in the 2026 Ioniq 9, which may not detect a person, especially a child, and keep moving during power-fold. Two cover the high voltage battery in the Ioniq 5 and Ioniq 9, and one of those, 26V432000, carries NHTSA's park-outside warning: owners of the six Ioniq 5s it covers are told to park outside, away from structures, and to charge no higher than 80 percent until the battery is replaced.

A campaign covers particular vehicles by their identification number rather than every car of the model, so the only thing that settles whether yours is included is the free VIN lookup. Repairs under a safety recall are free at any dealer of the brand, whatever the age of the car and whether or not you bought it new. How a vehicle recall remedy works covers what to do when a dealer says the parts are not ready yet.

The same page exists for Honda and Acura, Toyota and Lexus and Ford and Lincoln. Kia files its recalls separately, through Kia America, and has its own page; every other make is on the vehicle recalls tracker.
