7 recalls across 8 model years
The Hyundai Elantra GT has 7 recalls covering 2013 through 2018, with the most serious being a driver-side airbag inflator on 2016 models that can rupture during deployment and send metal fragments into the cabin, raising the risk of serious injury or death.
The 2018 model year has a panoramic sunroof motor that can be incorrectly programmed, preventing the sunroof from detecting an obstacle in its path while closing and failing to stop or reverse, which can injure a hand, arm, or head caught in the opening.
On 2014 models equipped with the 2.0L Nu engine, the engine control module can fail to catch developing internal problems before they cause the engine to seize, resulting in a sudden loss of power and an inability to restart. A failed engine also raises the risk of fire.
The 2013 model year has a brake pedal stopper pad that can deteriorate and cause the brake lights to stay on continuously even when the pedal is not pressed, which can confuse drivers behind and mask actual braking signals.
