Have there been any Hyundai Veloster recalls?
I’ve been eyeing a Hyundai Veloster, but I’ve heard about some negative experiences with its engine over the years. I also want to avoid buying a model from a year associated with a recall. Are there Hyundai Veloster recalls?

car insurance
provider that safety is a concern for you! According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), there have been seven recalls of the Hyundai Veloster
.Additionally, Veloster owners have reported engine troubles like knocking noises, power losses, and rod failures, especially for the 2012, 2013, and 2015 model years. Here’s a quick breakdown of the Veloster’s recalls:
- 2021: Piston oil rings may not have been treated properly, causing engine trouble
- 2020: Faulty connecting rods potentially causing engine damage
- 2020: Accessory socket may have been screwed too tightly, causing the outlet to overheat
- 2019: Driver’s side door latch housing and locking cable came loose in side impact crashes
- 2019: Faulty engine management software causing premature ignition
- 2013: Panoramic sunroof installation was faulty
- 2012: Parking brake parts were vulnerable to damage from road grime and moisture
