The 2026 Hyundai Tucson Plug-In has 4 recalls, the most serious involving a software fault in the front camera system that can trigger automatic emergency braking without warning, raising the risk of a rear-end collision.
The side airbag sensors mounted in the B-pillars, the structural column between the front and rear doors, may have been installed incorrectly during assembly. A misaligned sensor can delay airbag deployment in a side-impact crash, reducing the protection the airbag is meant to provide. A separate software fault can cause the instrument panel display to go blank while driving, taking the speedometer and warning lights with it. Prior repair attempts did not fully resolve this display issue, which is why two separate campaigns address the same underlying problem.
