If you are unsure whether your vehicle is affected by a current Recall or Service Campaign please contact us on 0800 HYUNDAI (498 632) or customerservice@hyundai.co.nz 

I30 (PD) N-Line - Model Years 2021-2022 – Campaign Number : 51D143

September 2025 - This recall relates to a potential concern with the vehicle’s fuel supply system, and particularly the Low-pressure Fuel Pump located in the Fuel Tank. Hyundai Motor Company have identified that the Low-pressure Fuel Pump may become inoperative due to wear in one of its internal components (the impeller). An inoperative Low-pressure Fuel Pump could result in the engine stalling while driving, increasing the risk of an accident.

I30 N (PDeN) - Model Years 2018-2024 – Campaign Number : 51DC01

July 2025 - This recall relates to a potential concern with the vehicle’s High-Pressure Fuel Pump (″HPFP″). The fuel pump has a Fuel Control Valve (″FCV″) that could wear out over time, allowing too much fuel into the system. As result the vehicle may exhibit a loss of engine power at low speeds and may illuminate a cluster warning lamp.

i30 (FD), Model Years 2009 – Campaign Number : 51D160

July 2025 - This recall relates to a potential concern with the vehicle’s Supplementary Restrain System (SRS) and in particular the Driver’s Airbag (DAB) Inflator Module. Hyundai Motor Company Korea have identified that the DAB Inflator Module could rupture during a commanded deployment event, resulting in the DAB not fully inflating and the release of high-pressured gas may propel pieces of the Inflator Module and DAB into the occupant compartment. This could increase the risk of injury to occupant(s) in the event of accident.  

NEXO (FE), Model Years 2019-2023 – Campaign Number : 41D213

April 2025 - This recall relates to a potential concern with the vehicle’s hydrogen gas storage system, in particular the Thermally Activated Pressure Relief Device ("TPRD"). The TPRD is designed to vent hydrogen gas through a glass bulb-type release mechanism that fractures when a specific tank temperature is exceeded. It’s been identified that overtime this glass bulb-type release mechanism could prematurely fracture due to microcracks in the glass, which could lead to inadvertent discharge of hydrogen gas during normal vehicle operation or while stationary.

KONA N (OSN), Model Years 2021-2022 - Campaign Number : 41D156

January 2025 - This recall relates to a potential concern with the vehicle’s High-Pressure Fuel Pump (HPFP).

IONIQ 5 (NE), IONIQ 6 (CE), Model Years 2022-2024 - Campaign Number : 41D236

December 2024 - This recall relates to a potential concern with the vehicle’s charging system, specifically the Integrated Charging Control Unit* ("ICCU"). The ICCU is responsible for charging the vehicle's 12-volt auxiliary battery and powering certain low-voltage systems and components. Under certain conditions, the ICCU may experience an electrical issue that could damage its internal components, causing the ICCU’s electrical fuse to fail. If this happens, the vehicle will display warning messages on the digital cluster. The vehicle will then enter a “fail-safe” mode, which gradually reduces the available driving power over time. However, essential systems such as airbags, braking, and power steering will continue to function normally. This software update is different from the one applied in a previous recall campaign (41D033).* Integrated Charge Control Unit (ICCU) - consists of an on-board charger (OBC) and low-voltage DC-DC converter (LDC).

The Kona Electric is equipped with an Airbag Control Unit (ACU) which detects a crash signal and commands the deployment of the airbags. The ACU is programmed to determine the severity of an impact & within a certain threshold will command the airbags to deploy. Hyundai Motor Company has identified a programming error with the ACU software & has voluntarily released this recall to enable a software upgrade to the ACU to rectify this programming error. To remedy the issue your local authorised Hyundai dealer or service agent will need to complete the software upgrade.

IONIQ (AE - HEV), Model Year 2017

This recall relates to a potential concern with the Power Relay Assembly (PRA) which is part of the high voltage system of the Lithium-ion battery in IONIQ Hybrid (HEV) models.The contacts points of the main relays may not be adequate and if the PRA continues to operate in this condition, a loose connection between the main relay contact points could cause an increase in electrical resistance. An increase in electrical resistance can generate heat build-up under the rear seat and the illumination of the HEV warning light while driving and/or an inability to start the vehicle.

iLoad & iMax (TQ), Model Year 2018

Certain iLoad & iMax (MY2018) vehicles may experience abnormal operation of the Lock Latch assembly of both side sliding doors.

Santa Fe (DM), Model Year 2018

The steering wheel assemblies fitted to certain (2018 Model Year) Santa Fe’s could have been manufactured with insufficient breakage strength, increasing the risk that the steering wheel could separate from the steering column while driving which could result in the driver losing steering control of the vehicle.

Granduer (TG) & Sonata (NF), Model Years 2005~2013

Sonata & Grandeur models are equipped with an Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS) which is designed to prevent wheel lock-up during sudden braking or on hazardous road surfaces.

While the vehicle is not in operation the ABS Control Module remains powered ON and Hyundai Motor Company has identified that should moisture enter the ABS Control Module (for example from water from high pressure car washes), over time an electrical short could occur inside the ABS Control Module. As a result there could be an increased risk of an engine compartment fire while the vehicle is parked and the ignition switch is in the OFF position.

Sonata (LF), Model Year 2014~2015

There is a possibility that with some Sonata vehicles, the electrical switch associated with the manual parking brake may develop corrosion within the electrical switch, which could result in the parking brake warning light intermittently not illuminating in the instrument cluster when the parking brake is applied.

i45 (YF) & Santa Fe (DM), Model Year 2011~2014

Some vehicles (Santa Fe & i45) fitted with 2.4 GDI engine may experience abnormal engine noise while driving. If the vehicle is continued to be driven with abnormal noise, the engine may seize.

Santa Fe (DM), Model Years 2012~2017

On some Santa Fe vehicles the secondary bonnet latch release cable may corrode and bind, causing the secondary bonnet latch to remain in the unlatched position when the bonnet is closed. If the bonnet is not securely closed or the primary latch is inadvertently released and the secondary latch is not engaged, the bonnet could unexpectedly open while driving, blocking the driver’s view and increasing the risk of a vehicle accident
