Hyundai says the instrument panel display may fail due to software errors.

Hyundai says the instrument panel cluster display may suddenly reboot while driving and cause a temporary blank display screen due to electrical noise.

A failed instrument panel cluster display can take out gauges such as the fuel gauge, speedometer and important safety notifications.

According to Hyundai's engineers:

"Electrical noise within the PMIC processor may result in irregular detection of system operating temperature, causing the thermal protection function to activate and reboot the IP cluster."

A Korean investigation was opened in September 2025 due to instrument panel display problems while driving. Hyundai learned a new Tier 2 supplier was involved and supplied new chipsets that could cause electrical noise. The noise could cause a temperature sensor to activate a thermal protection circuit that reboots the displays.

Hyundai instrument panel display recall letters are expected to be mailed March 27, 2026. The instrument panel display software will be updated over-the-air or by dealers.

Owners may contact Hyundai at 855-371-9460. Hyundai's instrument panel display recall number is 293.
