Table of Contents

Thousands of Hyundai Santa Cruz and Tucson vehicles, including hybrid variants from model years 2025-2026, are being recalled due to a dangerous software flaw. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) reported that a glitch in the front camera system can cause the forward collision-avoidance system to activate erratically, leading to sudden braking and increasing collision risks. [IMAGE_1] This issue has been linked to 376 reports of unexpected braking between October 2024 and April 2026.

Owners of affected vehicles will receive mail notifications by July 17. Alternatively, they can check their car's recall status using its VIN on the NHTSA website or by visiting a Hyundai dealer for a necessary software update. This recall is part of a broader industry trend, with 19 recalls issued across major automakers recently for various safety concerns.
