Reliability & federal safety record

Owner-reported issues, recalls, investigations and service bulletins on record with NHTSA — an unfiltered look at what owners actually experience.

The 2025 Hyundai Sonata recorded 15 complaints, zero recalls, zero investigations and 23 TSBs, which is a decrease from 42 complaints and 30 TSBs in 2024 but slightly above the two complaints projected for 2026. Complaint and recall activity have been on a downward trajectory since the early 2010s, with the 2025 figures representing the lowest recall count observed in the decade and a continued reduction in TSB volume. Service Brakes and Unknown Or Other each accounted for three of the 15 complaints, while Fuel/Propulsion System and Vehicle Speed Control contributed two each. Given the low defect signals and absence of safety‑related recalls, the 2025 model year presents a favorable purchase opportunity.
