Recalls, owner-reported complaints, investigations and safety data
Data refreshed
Our database contains 4 NHTSA owner-reported complaints for the 2025 Hyundai Venue, most frequently naming the body & structure and driver assistance categories. 11 manufacturer communications are on file.
Complaints are reports submitted by owners and drivers to NHTSA. They are not verified and do not establish that a defect exists.
When owners filed reports about this model year
Not enough dated records to plot a meaningful trend — 3 months of data.
Complaints grouped by the component NHTSA recorded
Percentages are of component mentions. A single complaint can name more than one component, so these do not sum to the total complaint count.
No recalls in our database for this model year
That does not guarantee a specific vehicle is unaffected — recalls are issued against VINs, and new campaigns are announced regularly. Check a VIN on NHTSA.gov.
Reports submitted to NHTSA, shown in the owner's own words
Bumper is made of very thin plastic and cracked upon a light inpack with protruding snow/ice pile while pulling into driveway. Other cars would have a small dent. Bumper does not give enough protection for real accident. Cost was $1800. Safety concern.
I was driving and all of a sudden out of the blue the gas pedal accelerated and I hit a curb doing damage to the tire and fender. the tire was pushed back. i asked the car dealer who i took it to check it out. they won't check it out till the car is repaired. It's at a body collision now.
The passenger-side front bumper and fender liner detached during a 15 mph swerve to avoid a traffic cone on day 3 of ownership. There was a light graze with no significant impact, but approximately 2 miles later, a noise prompted a safe pull-over. The component (bumper assembly and liner clips) failed completely, with clean detachment and a missing OEM clip. The vehicle and component are available for inspection. This put safety at risk, as the detachment could affect stability during highway driving. The dealer refused a full multi-point inspection and directed me to their vendor resulting in a $1,000 repair estimate without warranty coverage. Their report falsely claimed the vehicle was taken before inspection. No manufacturer, or insurance inspection has occurred. No warning lamps, messages, or symptoms appeared prior to the failure. Best assessment: This is a manufacturing defect in assembly and materials. A properly assembled bumper should withstand a light graze without detachment; the fact that it did indicates poor quality, impairing safety and value. The unrepaired status continues the risk.
The Driver Attention Warning. A mandatory Manufacturing component that cannot be disabled. When driving in heavy traffic at highway speed unwarranted beeps and take a break warnings appear. To be sure this is a severe distraction to drivers and a complaint in my case Hyundai is failing to respond to. It is a distraction and needs to be taken care of with software upgrades that are possible but Hyundai is unwilling to take care. No matter the environment a driver will turn his/her attention to an alarm sound distraction could prove fatal in a worse case scenario.The complaints are abundant and hopefully no deaths have occurred yet. A recall notice to correct this function that is only required in Europe would benefit thousands to hundreds of thousands of drivers through out the US.
A bulletin sent by a manufacturer to its dealers. Not a recall, and repairs are not necessarily free.
AIR BAGS
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) has identified the presence of substandard and dangerous driver’s-side airbag inflators manufactured by Jilin Province Detiannuo Automobile Safety System Co., Ltd. (DTN). These inflators were not supplied, approved, or authorized by the vehicle manufacturers and have primarily been found in vehicles that previously experienced a crash and underwent airbag replacement using non-genuine parts. These dangerous inflators have ruptured during deployment, posing a serious risk of injury or death due to metal fragments entering the vehicle cabin. To date, Hyundai is aware of three people who have died while driving a Hyundai vehicle with one of these substandard replacement airbag inflators that deployed in what likely would have been a survivable crash. NHTSA has issued a public advisory urging vehicle owners and service professionals to have vehicles inspected if there is reason to believe that a non-genuine replacement airbag may have been installed. Vehicles with salvage or rebuilt titles, prior airbag deployments, or unknown repair histories may present a higher risk. NHTSA strongly cautions against self-inspection by vehicle owners and recommends inspection by trained technicians.
AIR BAGS
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) has issued an urgent safety advisory regarding dangerous, counterfeit driver‑side airbag inflators manufactured by Jilin Province Detiannuo Automobile Safety System Co., Ltd. (DTN), that have been identified in U.S. vehicles following prior crashes, theft, or non‑certified airbag replacements. These inflators are not approved for use, may rupture during deployment, and have caused serious injuries and fatalities. Please see attached announcement, provided by NHTSA, for more details.
ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
Some Venue (QX) vehicles may exhibit intermittent inoperative power window operation. This TSB provides the procedure to replace the driver power window switch in the driver front door.
EXTERIOR LIGHTING
This bulletin provides information regarding condensation related to the accumulated moisture in the headlamp, rear combination lamp, daytime running lamp (DRL), or fog lamp. This TSB illustrates the various causes of condensation inside the lamp assembly. Lamp assembly replacement is NOT necessary in most cases. This condition can be eliminated by turning on the lamps with the engine running for several minutes or during normal driving operation.
Certain 2020 – 2025 model year Venue vehicles may experience an inoperable horn that may be caused by foreign substances causing internal parts to oxidize. At Hyundai, we are committed to providing vehicles of outstanding quality and value. In an effort to meet this commitment, Hyundai is extending the warranty coverage for the Horn Assembly under this condition to 10 years or 120,000 miles from the date of original retail delivery or date of first use, and is valid for original and subsequent owners.
ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
This bulletin provides information related to the changes introduced in the 2025 1st Navigation Map and Software Update. The changes may vary depending on vehicle type, model, and navigation system as described in this TSB.
Manufacturers file copies of the bulletins they send to dealers with NHTSA. These often describe diagnostic or repair procedures for a known condition. They are not recalls: repairs described in a bulletin are usually only free if the vehicle is still under warranty or the manufacturer has extended coverage.
Complaint and recall counts across every year of this model
Higher-selling and older vehicles accumulate more reports. Counts are not failure rates and are not directly comparable between vehicles that sold in very different numbers. Older model years have had longer for reports to accumulate.
