Hyundai Motor America recalled certain 2019-2021 Tucson vehicles on September 4, 2020, and expanded the recall population on December 30, 2020. Owners have filed 512 complaints for the year and Hyundai has issued 122 technical service bulletins.

Hyundai Motor America (Hyundai) recalled certain 2019-2021 Tucson vehicles on September 4, 2020. On December 30, 2020, Hyundai expanded the recall population, and added certain 2016-2018 Tucson vehicles. The Anti-lock Brake Hydraulic Electronic Control Unit (HECU) could corrode internally and cause an electrical short, possibly resulting in an engine compartment fire.
