- Risk
- A rearview image that does not display reduces the driver's visibility and increases the risk of a crash.

What this recall means for you
A printed circuit board in the rearview camera system may be damaged, so the rearview camera image may fail to display. Without that image, the driver has less visibility behind the vehicle, which increases the risk of a crash. The affected vehicles also do not meet Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 111 for rear visibility.
If your vehicle is included in this recall, an authorized Hyundai dealer will replace the rearview camera at no cost to you. Owner notification letters were mailed January 14, 2025. You can also contact Hyundai customer service at 1-855-371-9460.
Whether or not you received a letter, check your vehin on the NHTSA recall site or with a Hyundai dealer to confirm whether there are any open recalls on your vehicle.
