When owners complained
A spike years after the car went on sale usually means a part wearing
out on schedule across the whole fleet — the kind of pattern no single
owner can see from inside their own car.

Recalls on the 2009 Hyundai Tucson
A complaint is one owner's allegation. A recall is the point at which
the manufacturer or a regulator agreed the defect is real and dangerous
enough to fix for free — however old the car is.
Canada — Transport Canada
Canada runs its own recall programme, and its campaigns do not
always mirror the American ones.
Recall 2024552824,695 units in Canada
Label
Issue: On certain vehicles, the compliance label may be missing information in French. The words listed on the label for "Tires", "Rims", "Front" and "Rear" appear in English only, when they should be listed as "Tires/Pneus", "Rims/Jantes", "Front/Avant" and "Rear/Arriere". Canadian regulations require this information to be listed on the label in both English and French. Safety Risk: These small errors do not affect vehicle safety. Corrective Actions: This is not a recall. The company has corrected the compliance label for all new vehicles.
Recall 2013325110,104 units in Canada
Electrical
On certain vehicles, the stop lamp switch may fail and cause intermittent operation of the brake lights. Failure of the brake lights to illuminate when the brake pedal is depressed could result in a crash causing property damage and/or personal injury. Correction: Dealers will replace the switch.

AIR BAGS
AIR BAG LIGHT STAYS ON. HYUNDAI DEALERSHIP SAYS THAT THE LIGHT ON MEANS THE AIR BAGS ARE DISABLED AND THE AIR BAGS WOULD NOT DEPLOY IF THE LIGHT IS ON. THE DEALERSHIP SAYS I MUST HAVE THE DIAGNOSTIC TESTS DONE WHICH WILL COST ME ABOUT $125.00 IF THIS IS A PROBLEM WITH A MODULE THAT CONTROLS THE AIR BAG LIGHT I DON'T THINK THE REPAIR SHOULD COST ME ANYTHING. THIS CONCERNS ME BECAUSE OF A SAFETY ISSUE FOR MYSELF AND OTHERS IN MY VEHICLE.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
WHILE DRIVING IN MOTION OR IN IDLE, CAR ENGAGES IN UNINTENDED ACCELERATION. THIS IS A DANGEROUS ISSUE BECAUSE THE DRIVER MAY NOT BE AWARE OF THE SUDDEN ACCELERATION AND MAY NOT BE ABLE TO CONTROL THE VEHICLE GOING FORWARD OR BACKWARD (DEPENDING ON THE POSITION OF GEAR.) SUDDEN ACCELERATION HAPPENS EVEN WHEN DRIVER'S FOOT IS PRESSING AGAINST BREAK PEDAL. DANGEROUS SITUATIONS INCLUDE TURNING ON THE CAR FOR THE FIRST TIME DURING THE DAY TO DRIVE OUT OF THE GARAGE IN REAR MOTION. IN THIS SITUATION IT IS COMMON THAT THE CAR MOVES ABRUPTLY BACKWARDS AND ACCELERATES DOWN THE DRIVEWAY RAMP AND TOWARDS THE SIDEWALK AND STREET. IF THERE ARE PEOPLE WALKING BY THE DRIVEWAY OR SIDEWALK, OR CARS APPROACHING THE SIDEWALK, THEY MAY BE HIT. AS DRIVER MAY NOT BE ABLE TO CONTROL THE DESCENT OF THE CAR OUT OF THE GARAGE RAMP. ANOTHER VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION INVOLVING PEOPLE POTENTIALLY BEING HURT OR EVEN KILLED INCLUDES CAR STOPPED AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT IN IDLE, WHILE PEOPLE ARE CROSSING THE STREET IN FRONT OF THE CAR. IT HAS ALREADY HAPPENED THAT THE CAR SUDDENLY ACCELERATED AND MOVED FORWARD WHILE A PERSON WAS RIGHT IN FRONT OF THE CAR, CROSSING THE STREET. THAT PERSON WAS ALMOST HIT. WHILE THERE WAS NOT ANY POTENTIAL PHYSICAL HARM, I (THE DRIVER) AND THE PERSON CROSSING THE STREET WERE VERY UPSET DUE TO THE IMMINENT DANGER. I HAVE ALREADY TAKEN THE CAR TWICE TO THE REPAIR SHOP TO LOOK AT THIS PROBLEM, BUT DESPITE COMPLETING TWO MAJOR SERVICES (COSTING ME ALMOST A THOUSAND DOLLARS), THEY HAVEN'T FIGURED OUT WHAT IS CAUSING THE ACCELERATION AND HOW TO FIX. I PLEAD THIS CASE HERE HOPING THAT THE NHTSA WILL FORCE HYUNDAI TO ISSUE A SAFETY RECALL URGENTLY.
