NHTSA should have a non-official recall warning for Hyundai vehicles that have this software based Safety Defect, which is some models don't have a Passive Engine Immobilizer, and the vehicles can be easily stolen by starting the engine with a USB cord. Thankfully Hyundai(recall) offered a free Anti Theft Software Update, and a steering wheel lock. I checked my VIN number with the Hyundai Dealership in Oregon, and they said my car already received the Anti Theft Software Update. The only reason I knew my 2020 Tucson had this issue, is because State Farm cancelled my insurance a month after I started paying for it. State Farm and Progressive currently deny new policies for vehicles without a Passive Engine Immobilizer. Also State Farm still denied my insurance after I got the software update. Affected Hyundai models from 2011 to 2021 that have standard -??turn-key-to-start-?? ignition systems/without a Passive Engine Immobilizer, are the Accent, Elantra, Santa Fe, Sonata, Tucson, Genesis Coupe, Palisade, Kona, Venue.
Warning lights for Lane keeping, Blind Spot, ABS, Autohold, Foward collision systems came on and will not reset. Reports of this all over hyundai forums and owner fan pages (Facebook, etc). It can fool the driver into believing the car is about to be in an accident prompting panic response in drivers.
When parked and car is turned off, if i don-€™t get out right away (key in ignition still or not) a -€œbattery discharge warning-€ shows up on my display.
While driving one evening, it was brought to my attention that my passenger brake light was remaining on, when I was not braking. A week later, both sides are on. This happens only if my headlights are on - automatically or if I manually turn my headlights on. The back center light will only come on when I high the brake pedals. Again, back brake lights on driver and passenger side remain on regardless of brake pedal is engaged.
In September 2021 I bought the reference unit and on 4 different occasions I could not use it because it had no power. I took it to the dealer and they didn't find any problem, I used it again and again it ran out of power. It has currently been at the dealer for 5 weeks and they have not found the problem. I had a conversation with the previous owner and she told me that she had returned the unit to the dealer for the same situation. So far the dealer has not received an answer as to what is wrong with the unit. Nor have they provided me with a vehicle. This situation has affected my family since daily we are complicated about how to get to our jobs and schools. The dealer is Hyundai from Cupey, Puerto Rico PR-8838, San Juan, 00926 On April 16, 2022 dealer told us that they had solved the problem after being at the dealer for 7 weeks, dealer concluded that the car problem was the alternator. After using it for 2 weeks again on May 9, the car did not start and again were left without a means of transportation Consumer called a tow truck which took the bus to the dealer. THE CONSUMER STATED THE DRIVER'S SIDE GLASS WAS INOPERABLE. THE TAILGATE COULD ONLY BE OPENED MANUALLY, IT WOULD NOT RESPOND TO THE AUTOMATIC BUTTON.

Per the NHTSA recall 20V-543, the Tucson has a recall for possible brake fires since Sept 2020. As of March 2021 no dealer in the area yet has parts to perform the recall service. Hyundai is taking an excessive amount of time to remedy the fire hazard.

My 2020 Hyundai Tucson was purchased new this year from West herr Hyundai I'm williamsville NY. I was notified of a vehicle safety recall related to ABS issues in September 2020. I have contacted the dealer every week sense then, and they claim they are unable to compete the recall due to a lack of parts. I believe the dealer is negligent in addressing this issue and I would appreciate help getting this safety issue remedied.
