Hyundai recall overview:
- Who: Hyundai is recalling 96,310 Tucson, Tucson Hybrid and Tucson Plug-in Hybrid vehicles.
- Why: A software bug can cause the instrument panel display to go blank, increasing crash risk.
- Where: The recall is active in the United States.
Hyundai is recalling more than 96,000 Tucson models due to a software issue that can cause the instrument panel display to intermittently go dark, posing a safety risk.
The recall was initiated on June 24 as reported by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA).
It affects 2025 and 2026 Tucson models, including 39,605 gas-powered, 53,886 Hybrid and 2,819 Plug-in Hybrid vehicles. The issue stems from a software glitch that disrupts communication between the instrument cluster and the head-up display, causing both systems to reset and the dashboard to momentarily go blank.
Hyundai’s recall notice states, “An instrument panel display that fails to show critical safety information, such as the speedometer or warning lights, increases the risk of a crash.”
Fortunately, no accidents or injuries have been reported in connection with this issue.
Hyundai to provide free software update and reimburse any out-of-pocket repairs
Hyundai assures that no new parts are needed to address the issue. Instead, dealers will update the instrument cluster software to ensure only the head-up display resets, not the entire dashboard.
Vehicle owners will begin receiving notification letters in August with details on how to schedule a free repair at their local Hyundai dealer, according to the Hyundai recall.
Additionally, vehicles connected to Hyundai Bluelink may receive the update over the air, eliminating the need for a dealership visit. Hyundai has also committed to reimbursing owners who have already paid for repairs, provided they follow the company’s guidelines.
For more information, affected owners can contact Hyundai’s customer service at 855-371-9460. The recall number is 304, and further details can be found on the NHTSA recall page.
Hyundai says it has not received any reports of injuries related to the recall so far. The company is not currently facing legal action over the recall, but Top Class Actions follows recalls closely as they sometimes lead to class action lawsuits.
In another recent Hyundai recall, the company called back more than 421,000 Santa Cruz, Tucson, Tucson Hybrid and Tucson Plug-In Hybrid 2025-2026 models due to a software defect that may cause the forward collision avoidance system to activate brakes unexpectedly.

11 thoughts onHyundai recalls 96,000 Tucson SUVs due to software glitch
I fell upon this recall 304 while on the internet. No notice from Hyundai and my car is one in this recall. This should be something automatic, maybe one of the real helpful uses of AI. A text and phone message should be instigated to alert owners. I cannot get an appointment from dealership until next week, this delays a planned trip. Service departments should prioritize recall fixes and work overtime to implement!
I had the Tucson hybrid 2026 suddenly brake on me for no apparent reason. The 2nd time, it brakes so hard that it lunged me forward and back into the headrest that God no one was close behind me. Also, the screen will go black but immediately returns. I should’ve remained with Mazda.
Have you ever look into the 2023/2024 Hyundai konas? All the lights would go out in those. Inside and out! Happened to me muliple times. Of course at night. They had it in the shop for 2 months trying to duplicate the problem and could never fix it. So I had to tradein and get a car from Hyundai. What did I get 26 tucson just to have it happen again.
Add please
I have experienced my 2025 hyundai Tucson braking while I’m driving in the expressway 4 times jerking me and throwing all my belongings to the floor and twice there was an 18 wheeler behind me that had to swerve to keep from hitting me. I to it to the dealer for the recall reset and now the truck feels like it keeps pulling me into another lane if I get up to any speed. I dint feel safe in it at all and I have 2 small children. I dint even want this truck anymore. I dint feel safe.
Yes my 2026 Tyson have had the panel going blank and all emergency lights show up on the panel while operating the vehicle.
Does the 23 Santa Cruz have any recalls
Does hyundai tucson preffered 2.0 fwd is affected also in the. Software glitch. Am i eligible to ask hyundai dealer for free?
Add me
Agree
I have experienced only one stance thus far, of the heads up dashboard going blank for several seconds. It then came back on and I reported it immediately.
Same here. I had my car in for the recall fix but I feel it didn’t fix anything. The camera and warnings don’t seem to come on when they should
