A recall affecting more than 421,000 Hyundai vehicles was launched after the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration identified a software defect.
The defect in the front‑camera system may trigger the forward‑collision‑avoidance function prematurely, causing the brakes to engage unexpectedly and creating a crash risk, as outlined in the official notice.

Four collisions have been reported, according to the NHTSA’s May 19 recall filing.
The recall encompasses specific 2025‑2026 Hyundai Santa Cruz, Tucson, Tucson Hybrid, and Tucson Plug‑In Hybrid models.
During the period from October 28 2024 through April 27 2026, Hyundai logged 376 reports concerning the Forward Collision‑Avoidance system’s operation.

Owners of the affected vehicles are slated to receive notification letters by July 17, the NHTSA announced.
Remediation requires owners to visit an authorized Hyundai dealer, where technicians will install the updated front‑camera software at no cost.
