Every Hyundai i30 recall
Newest first. The concern is the part or system affected, the defect is what can go wrong, and the remedy is what the manufacturer does to put it right.
Driver-side Airbag (DAB) Inflator may not deploy as intended
R/2025/456, launched 17 November 2025, 13 vehicles affected across the models it covers
Defect: Driver-side Airbag (DAB) Inflator may not deploy as intended. This may result in a component entering into the vehicle occupant compartment.

R/2021/261, launched 16 August 2021, 171 vehicles affected across the models it covers

IF MOISTURE ENTERS THE ABS MODULE IT COULD CAUSE AN ELECTRICAL SHORT
R/2020/059, launched 1 June 2020, 9,191 vehicles affected across the models it covers
Defect: When the vehicle is turned off if moisture enters the ABS module it could cause an electrical short.
Remedy: Affected vehicles will have a relay installed in the main fuse box to prevent power going to the ABS module when the ignition key is in the off position.
THE AIR BAG MAY DEPLOY PREMATURELY
R/2020/016, launched 1 March 2020, 9,200 vehicles affected across the models it covers
Defect: In the event of an impact on the lower part of the vehicle body the airbag may prematurely deploy

R/2019/055, launched 28 February 2019, 11 vehicles affected across the models it covers
Defect: The sunroof anti-pinch function may not work properly.
Remedy: The sunroof and roller blind motors will be checked and if necessary replaced with an improved part.
STEERING ASSISTANCE MAY BE LOST
R/2015/056, launched 13 April 2015, 12,512 vehicles affected across the models it covers
Defect: Two LEDs are used to calculate torque applied to the steering wheel. If the ECU senses a discrepancy in the torque sensing circuitry an indicator lamp is illuminated in the instrument cluster a diagnostic code is stored and steering assist is no longer provided. The driver will have to supply more effort to steering the vehicle.
Remedy: Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected and re-programme the steering ECU. The steering will then be tested. If the vehicle fails the test a new torque sensor will be fitted.
STEERING MAY FAIL
R/2014/128, launched 4 November 2014, 5,267 vehicles affected across the models it covers
Defect: Whilst manoeuvring a noise can be heard from the lower steering column area. The cause has been identified as loose bolts on the column universal joint. In extreme cases these may drop out causing the universal joint to detach and failure of the steering
Remedy: Check column for correct fitting and tighten universal joint bolts to correct torque.
PARKING BRAKE MAY NOT RELEASE FULLY
R/2013/020, launched 16 April 2013, 2,632 vehicles affected across the models it covers
Defect: On Some i30 (GD) vehicles fitted with a manual transaxle after applying the parking brake it may not fully release after releasing it. This is due to corrosion where water is entering into rear caliper.
Remedy: The parking brake mechanism must be inspected if it is free of corrosion a new seal must be fitted and then the cable lever kit must be replaced. If corrosion is visible both rear brake calipers must be replaced.

What to do next
If you own a Hyundai i30, check its registration on GOV.UK and ask a Hyundai dealer whether any recall work is outstanding. If you are buying one, ask the seller for proof the work was done, and run a Motoring Insider history check for finance, write-offs and the MOT history.
