Hyundai Tucson 2025: 218 complaints about automatic braking and warnings, 30 crashes
The 2025 Hyundai Tucson has 454 complaints in the US complaints database, 41 of them mention a crash. Most concern collision avoidance: 109 about automatic emergency braking (12 crashes) and 109 about collision warnings (18 crashes). In May 2026 Hyundai recalled 423,000 Tucson and Santa Cruz 2025–2026 over front camera software that may brake prematurely. 73.6% fixed.
What it means for a car after an accident
The automatic braking camera and radar sit in the windscreen and front bumper, exactly where most impacts land. After replacing the glass or bumper they must be calibrated. If not, the system may brake for no reason even after the recall software update.
In Ukraine there are still few 2022–2026 Tucsons after accidents (160 listings, 74 via a US auction), but it is a recent model, and on such cars buyers expect working assistance systems.
Our position
When buying a Tucson after a front impact, ask for proof of camera and radar calibration, not just part replacement, and check the VIN for campaign 26V316000. More in our guide ADAS radars and cameras after an accident.
