2017 HYUNDAI TUCSON Recalls — Canada & USA

The 2017 Hyundai Tucson has 4 recalls, the most serious being two separate fire risks: the anti-lock brake module can short electrically and start an engine compartment fire, whether the vehicle is parked or in motion. The brake module fire risk has been the subject of prior repair attempts that did not fully resolve the issue, and certain vehicles are covered under an expanded campaign addressing internal corrosion in the brake hydraulic control unit that can also cause an electrical short and fire. On the engine side, this recall only affects vehicles with the 2.0L engine: the connecting rod bearings can wear prematurely, producing a knocking noise and triggering the oil pressure warning light. Continuing to drive in that condition can lead to sudden engine failure or an oil-fed fire if leaked oil contacts a hot surface. There is also a lower-severity recall involving trailer hitch wiring where the trailer brake lights can stay on continuously, potentially confusing drivers behind the vehicle.
