Vehicle Systems Involved in Recalls for 2026 Hyundai Sonata

Distribution of official safety recall campaigns across automotive subsystem domains

Vehicle Subsystem 1 campaign

Electrical System

Domain Mapping Methodology: A single NHTSA recall campaign may involve more than one vehicle subsystem (such as electrical wiring affecting fuel delivery), so domain totals can exceed the total number of unique recall campaigns. Complaint and recall counts are grouped by broad vehicle system; component co-occurrence does not establish that an individual owner complaint is related to a specific recall campaign.
