This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.
So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.
The contact owns a 2024 Hyundai Tucson. The contact stated that while the vehicle was parked, the horn was inoperable. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where it was diagnosed that the horn needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired. The contact related the failure to TSB: 23-BE-008H (Horn Assembly); however, the VIN was not included in the TSB. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and a case was opened. The failure mileage was 68,412.
Both horns failed in less than 15k miles. Any time spent on the internet shows this is a known issue. Reporting as a safety problem as you will not know they are gone until you need them to warn another car or person and you have no sound. Luckily I was not speeding and paying attention but the kid who rode a bike in front of me when my horns failed - wondered right out. I stopped just short of them. Only resulting in them falling over when they finally saw me and freaked out/fell over. Horns are located extremely close to the ground and can only be accessed if you remove the entire front bumper and side trim. So this isn't an easy fix for most people when/if they go out.
