Electronic stability control · Standard
The NHTSA record was matched using the decoded model year, make, model, body, drivetrain and any required cab or powertrain details. Source naming differences do not combine different configurations.
Ratings describe a tested configuration, not the condition or crash history of this individual used vehicle. Compare NHTSA overall and frontal ratings only within the same vehicle class and within 250 pounds of curb weight.

Autorrive assessment
An Autorrive score needs an additional permitted, configuration-matched independent assessment of crash protection, prevention and headlights.
Additional independent testing
IIHS evaluates crash protection, crash prevention and equipment using its own tests and grading system.
A verified independent assessment is not yet included in this report. NHTSA results above remain separate from an Autorrive composite score.

Certain vehicles equipped with internal combustion engines may exhibit higher-than-expected engine oil consumption. This bulletin provides the inspection and repair procedures for vehicles exhibiting this condition. All internal combustion engines consume engine oil as part of normal engine operation. Oil consumption rates may vary based on mileage, operating conditions, driving habits, and maintenance history. Hyundai recommends following the prescribed maintenance schedule and periodically checking the engine oil level using the dipstick to maintain proper engine oil level.
Document 11038458
Some vehicles equipped with internal combustion engines may exhibit higher-than-expected engine oil consumption. This bulletin outlines the combustion chamber cleaning procedure for vehicles diagnosed with this condition. All internal combustion engines consume some engine oil during normal operation, depending on driving conditions and mileage, and this procedure should only be performed when deemed necessary based on inspection and diagnosis of the vehicle as outlined in TSB 26-EM-015H, Engine Oil Consumption Inspection & Repair Guidelines, or the latest revision.
Document 11038722
Some Hyundai vehicles may be equipped with a parking distance warning (PDW) sensor(s) that may trigger various DTCs and display warning messages on the instrument cluster, resulting in the PDW sensor(s) failing to detect nearby objects or triggering multiple false alarms. This condition may be a result of external damage to the PDW sensor membrane or sensor cover from rock chips or road debris, a collision, or previous vehicle repairs or modifications.
