Recall 25V893 covers 51,587 2022-2024 Hyundai Tucson vehicles with tow hitch wiring short-circuit risk. Park outside. Free repair once Hyundai opens it.
Nonfunctioning trailer lights and failed parking, turn signal, or stop lamps give other drivers less warning and increase crash risk. A short circuit also raises fire risk. Park outside and away from structures until the recall repair is complete. Repair will be free at any franchised Hyundai dealer once available.
Hyundai is recalling 51,587 2022-2024 Tucson vehicles equipped with the optional Mobis tow hitch wiring harness because incorrect installation can let water into the control module. Moisture can make the trailer lights fail or short the circuit, which increases crash and fire risks, so owners should park outside and away from structures until Hyundai makes the free dealer repair available.

What's wrong?
The tow hitch harness on a 2022-2024 Hyundai Tucson is the wiring link between the SUV and a trailer. It carries electrical signals for trailer lights, including parking lamps, turn signals, and stop lamps. The control module manages those signals so the trailer lights respond with the vehicle lights.
On affected Tucsons, the harness control module was not sealed well enough, and some harnesses were installed in a way that let water reach the module. Once moisture and debris collect inside, the circuit board can short. That short can shut off trailer lighting or affect vehicle and trailer rear lighting, and Hyundai found fire damage tied to shorting in the harness module.
The warning sign is lighting that works intermittently or stops working. Watch for parking lamps, turn signals, or stop lamps on the vehicle or trailer that flicker, fail to illuminate, or behave inconsistently.
Who's affected?
Across the 2022, 2023, and 2024 Tucson model years, the common part is tow hitch harness CWF61-AU100.

What should I do if my 2022-2024 Hyundai Tucson is on this recall?
