Recall Date: 6/23/2026
NHTSA ID: 26V400
MFr. Campaign Number: 304
Manufacturer: Hyundai Motor America
Affected Components: Instrument Panel Cluster Assembly, Head-Up Display Software
Potential Number of Units Affected: 96,310
Which Hyundai vehicles are affected?
This recall covers three versions of the Hyundai Tucson built on the same platform: the gas-powered 2025-2026 Tucson, the 2025-2026 Tucson Hybrid, and the 2025-2026 Tucson Plug-In Hybrid, for a combined 96,310 vehicles. All three share the same instrument panel cluster assembly, supplied by MOBIS, and the same software defect between that cluster and the Head-Up Display.
The instrument panel cluster in these vehicles can intermittently reboot while driving. A communication error between the cluster and the Head-Up Display triggers the reset, and when it happens, the display goes temporarily blank. That blank screen masks the speedometer, fuel gauge, and other required indicators, which puts the vehicle out of compliance with FMVSS 101 and raises the risk of a crash if a driver loses those gauges without warning.
What drivers need to know
Hyundai has not issued a Do Not Drive or Park Outside advisory for this campaign. The remedy is a software update to the instrument panel cluster, which a dealer will install at no cost regardless of whether the vehicle is still under Hyundai's New Vehicle Limited Warranty. Owners who have opted into Hyundai Bluelink may also receive the fix over the air once it becomes available, no dealer visit required.
Owners will be notified by certified mail, and Bluelink subscribers will get an additional electronic notice about the over-the-air option. Hyundai expects dealer notification by August 22, 2026, and VINs have been searchable since June 25, 2026. Hyundai will also reimburse owners who already paid out of pocket to fix the issue, under the reimbursement plan it filed with NHTSA on March 2, 2026.
Hyundai recall background
Hyundai's investigation started after a single customer reported a Tucson Hybrid cluster that intermittently went blank between July and September 2025. The supplier could not reproduce the issue on the bench at first. Between October 2025 and May 2026, joint testing traced the cause to intermittent connection issues in the Head-Up Display's external wiring harness, which can knock out communication between the HUD and the cluster and reset both systems at once. Hyundai's North America Safety Decision Authority made the recall call on June 16, 2026, and the company has confirmed no crashes, fires, or injuries tied to the condition in the U.S.
This is at least the sixth Hyundai Recall Radar entry BizzyCar has tracked in 2026, following [insert link: previous Hyundai Recall Radar post]. Instrument cluster and software issues have become one of the more consistent recall triggers across the industry this year, not just at Hyundai.
How BizzyCar can help
A 96,000-vehicle recall split across three Tucson variants and two remedy paths, a dealer visit or an over-the-air update, is exactly the kind of campaign that gets flattened into one generic mailer.
BizzyCar Recall Outreach identifies affected Tucson, Tucson Hybrid, and Tucson Plug-In Hybrid owners directly inside a dealer's own customer database and reaches them through two-way SMS, so each owner knows right away whether their fix is a quick software update or a scheduled service visit.
