Known issues to check on a 2016 Hyundai Elantra
- Driver Airbag Inflator Rupture Recall (2015-2016) (2015–2016)
NHTSA recall 26V307 (2026) covers certain 2015-2016 Elantras: the driver's airbag inflator may rupture when it deploys. Interim owner letters went out in July 2026, with the final remedy (inspection and inflator replacement) expected to follow. Remedy availability may be limited, so status must be checked by VIN.
What to do: On a 2015-2016 Elantra, check this recall by VIN and ask a Hyundai dealer about remedy timing before buying. - Anti-Theft Software Upgrade (2011-2022 Key-Start Cars) (2011–2022)
Key-start Elantras without an engine immobilizer were targeted by thieves. Hyundai offers a free anti-theft software upgrade for eligible 2011-2022 Elantras (it extends the alarm and blocks starting without the key fob) and a free steering-wheel lock where the software cannot be installed. Push-button-start cars are generally not affected; eligibility is VIN-specific.
What to do: Check the VIN on Hyundai's anti-theft site and get the free upgrade if needed.
Recall applicability varies by model year, production date, engine, transmission, equipment, and VIN. Check the VIN for current open recalls and completed remedies. For 2011-2022 key-start cars, also check anti-theft software eligibility.
