Known issues on the 2011 Tucson. Three recalls are on federal record for this model year. One concerns the automatic transmission fluid cooler hose on vehicles manufactured July 22, 2010 to October 31, 2010: if enough transmission fluid leaks out, the transmission may not function properly. Another covers the hydraulic antilock brake and traction control system, where an engine compartment fire while parked or driving can increase the risk of injury. The third involves the brake light switch, which can cause a failure to illuminate the stop lamps during braking or an inability to disengage the cruise control. Owners have filed 174 complaints for the year and Hyundai has issued 110 technical service bulletins.

Chasing a leak at the transmission cooler lines, working on the antilock brake hydraulic unit, or replacing a stop lamp switch, you stay on Hyundai's own procedure and the correct specification for your 2011 Tucson.
