HYUNDAI VENUE Recalls

The Hyundai Venue has 4 recalls covering 2020 through 2024 model years, with the most serious being a seat belt pretensioner defect on 2020-2022 vehicles where the pretensioner can explode in a crash and send metal fragments into the cabin, striking occupants. The 2024 model year has a separate issue with the exhaust gas recirculation valve assembly, which can develop an electrical short circuit and cause the engine to lose drive power without warning, raising the risk of a crash. On 2022 models, an incorrect center console cover was installed during assembly, exposing a shift lock release button that can be pressed without a key in the ignition or the brake pedal depressed, allowing the transmission to shift out of park and the vehicle to roll away if the parking brake is not set. The pretensioner defect described in the lead covers the 2020-2022 range, with the 2020 model year subject to additional regulatory coverage reflecting the same underlying hazard.
