Hyundai began an investigation in July 2025 after a customer reported the display was intermittently not working. Over the next 10 months, Hyundai eventually discovered an intermittent connection problem with the HUD external harness that could cause the screen to reboot and issued a recall earlier this month.
Hyundai says it is not aware of any accidents, fires, injuries or deaths related to this issue. The automaker will direct affected owners to bring their vehicles to a Hyundai dealer. A technician will update the vehicle’s instrument panel software, but the automaker is working on an over-the-air update that Hyundai will release when it becomes available.
