Known issues on the 2022 Tucson. Three recalls sit on federal record for this model year. The first concerns the roof moldings, which may detach; a detached roof molding could become a road hazard, increasing the risk of a crash. The second covers vehicles equipped with an optional Mobis tow hitch wiring harness, which may have been installed incorrectly, and nonfunctioning trailer lights can increase the risk of a crash. The third is a software fault: the software installed in the Integrated Central Control Unit may be incompatible with the vehicle, and inoperative headlights or taillights can decrease visibility for the driver. Owners have submitted 538 complaints for the year and Hyundai has issued 94 technical service bulletins.
From tracing a lighting fault back to the Integrated Central Control Unit to inspecting a tow hitch harness or servicing the 1.6L hybrid driveline, it keeps you on the OEM procedure and the correct specification for your specific 2022 Tucson.
Hyundai Motor America (Hyundai) is recalling certain 2022 Tucson vehicles. The software installed in the Integrated Central Control Unit (ICU) may be incompatible with the vehicle, which could result in inoperative headlights and/or taillights.
Inoperative headlights or taillights can decrease visibility for both the driver and surrounding traffic, increasing the risk of a crash.
Dealers updated the ICU software, free of charge. All affected vehicles have been repaired and therefore no owner notification letters will be mailed. Owners may contact Hyundai customer service at 1-855-371-9460. Hyundai's number for this recall is 214.

While I was stopped for a car ahead turning left I was hit from behind which pushed me into the car in front of me. No airbags deployed . Truck that hit me was traveling at 50 mph. Never applied brakes.
I have a lot of questions. I bought the best trim car for safety, but as a result, nothing worked. The damage to my family caused by this was a lot of damage mentally and physically, and it took a lot of time for these results to come out. That ended my view of Hyundai/Kia as a Korean American living in the U.S. I will never repurchase a Korean car. I suspect a sudden acceleration. I decided to report to NHTSA/BBB/Hyundai Motor America/FTC.

Master cylinder for the brakes went out
I was driving down the highway going about 60-65mph with cruise control and LKA on. I turned my blinker on to switch lanes, checked my blind spot, and moved over to the left. As I was doing so, a semi switched lanes from the left into the right (my new lane) right in front of me. The truck then slowed down a lot, and usually my Forward Collision Warning would say something if my Adaptive Cruise Control isn’t on (or is and I’m just going too fast to slow down) neither of those things happened. No
This 2022 Hyundai Tucson stalled in the middle of a busy highway with my wife in the vehicle. The car suddenyly stalled while going 75mph and she was almost killed and got rear ended. Later we were informed by the dealership that there is a inherent issue with the fuel injection system on these vehicles and the fuel injector has gone bad. These people only replaced the faulty injector. Two months back another injector went bad and then i researched and found this is a bad engineering issue. Now
My camera and backup system have not been working correctly since early March of 2024. It has been in service seven times since then, at two different dealers and no service department has been able to fix the problem. There were no warning signs at all, the camera and backup just stopped working. It has been fixed 7 times and each time it has worked leaving the dealership from six through ten days. Occasionally it has gone out, comes back on, but never lasts for more than a day or two. I have n
Vehicle has experienced, unexpected, slight and brief, acceleration 3 times at highway speeds up to 60 mph. The 4th incident was an uncontrolled acceleration when parking behind another parked vehicle. Car accelerated into the backend of parked vehicle.

During a recent accident, the driver pressed the brakes but they did not respond, almost as if they locked up. Police at the scene noted there were no skid marks on the road, suggesting the brakes never engaged. The vehicle suffered major side impact damage, including broken windows and crushed passenger-side doors, but none of the airbags deployed. This raises serious concerns about a possible brake system failure and airbag non-deployment defect. The vehicle has not yet been repaired and is a
