2 known faults

CRDi 136 48V iBVM

  1. Engine failure linked to the starter-generator pulley (1.6 CRDi 48V)

    Severity 3/3 · Serious

    Several reliability sites report that, on the 136 hp 1.6 CRDi 48V diesel, the starter-generator pulley or tensioner can seize and damage the engine, up to complete failure. Fiches-auto reports testimonies of engines written off on this engine. The sources disagree on how frequent the problem is, and we have found no official confirmation from Hyundai: ask a dealer, using the serial number, whether a recall campaign is open.

    Severity 1/3 · Annoying

    On the hybrid Tucson, Carverif reports electronic malfunctions and Carchecker reports false inverter coolant warnings as well as a 12 V battery that discharges when the car is parked.
