The short answer
From NHTSA’s files, copied Nov 5, 2026.
- 3 recalls naming it in NHTSA’s file (needs attention)
- Don’t drive it or park it outside: NHTSA’s advice, for one of its recalls (needs attention)
- 391 owner complaints to NHTSA
- 4of 5 the fewest overall stars NHTSA gave any of its versions
A recall covers the vehicles it names, by build date where NHTSA gives one. Your VIN says which are open on yours.
Is your vehicle in one of these recalls?
No public file says which recalls are still open on one vehicle. NHTSA’s lookup does, from its VIN.
The VIN goes to NHTSA, never to Hearth Record.
What recalls name it?
3 recalls for the 2022 Hyundai Tucson in NHTSA’s file, newest first. Each covers the vehicles it names; your VIN says if yours is one.

- How serious each complaint was, or whether it was confirmed: complaints aren’t findings.
