Why the recall matters
An instrument panel display that fails to show critical safety information, such as the speedometer or warning lights, increases the risk of a crash.
The official recall report provides the vehicle and defect details.
Repair and owner notification
Hyundai’s U.S. owner letter says a software update is available through a dealer or, for eligible vehicles, over the air. OTA updates require an eligible Bluelink-enabled vehicle with an active subscription and enrollment in software updates. Owners should follow Hyundai’s instructions or contact an authorized dealer to confirm the appropriate route for their vehicle.
Owner notification: Planned for August 22, 2026; actual mailing completion was not confirmed in the documents reviewed.
What owners should do
Hyundai’s U.S. owner letter describes dealer service and the eligibility requirements for an over-the-air update. Follow Hyundai’s instructions for your vehicle; the presence of an OTA remedy does not confirm that every vehicle can receive it remotely. Use the official NHTSA VIN recall lookup or contact an authorized Hyundai dealer to confirm your next step.
