HYUNDAI MOTOR CO is recalling 421,078 vehicles in the United States due to a software error causing unexpected braking. The recall impacts certain 2025-2026 models of the Santa Cruz and Tucson, including hybrid and plug-in hybrid variants. This safety action follows a separate recall of 54,000 vehicles earlier this week involving fire risks.
### Software Glitch Triggers Collision System The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) announced the recall on Friday. A software error in the front cameras may cause the forward collision avoidance system to activate prematurely. This malfunction results in sudden braking, which the regulator said increases the risk of a crash.
