Each tile shows the median mileage at which that model year’s failures were reported. † marks a year whose median likely understates the mileage: much of its reporting came after 2020, when most complaints stopped recording an odometer reading. The 2018 reports latest and the 2020 earliest, but part of that gap is age: the 2018 has had 2 more years on the road to accumulate mileage. 1 of these years carries fewer than 30 reports with an odometer reading and shows no median at all, rather than one computed from a handful.
The short answer
“Is the 2016–2021 Hyundai Tucson reliable?”
- Median of reported failures
- 27,000 mi
- 90% of reports came by
- 94,000 mi
- Reports with mileage
- 1,520
- Recalls
- 6
At least 40% of this generation’s complaints were filed after 2020, and most complaints filed since then carry no odometer reading, so the median likely understates the mileage these failures happen at.

Owners filed 3,736 complaints with NHTSA about the 2016–2021 Hyundai Tucson; the engine leads with 42% of them, and half of the 1,520 that record an odometer reading came by 27,000 miles. A count like this can’t rate reliability on its own: NHTSA records what owners chose to report, not how many of each car were sold.
37% of complaints that record mileage fall within the first 12,000 miles, against 10.1 reports per 1,000 miles between 20,000 and 80,000. Failures clustered that early usually indicate a design or manufacturing problem rather than wear.

How many miles does a 2016–2021 Hyundai Tucson last?
Complaint records can’t measure how long a car lasts; they show when reported failures happened. On the 2016–2021 Hyundai Tucson, half of the 1,520 complaints that record an odometer reading were filed by 27,000 miles and 90% by 94,000 miles.
9 reports came in past 150,000 miles and 2 past 200,000 — each one proof that a Tucson reached that mileage, not that it failed there.

System by system, in words
Complaints about this generation are not spread evenly across the vehicle, and the systems that generate the most of them do not all fail at the same point in a car's life. The median failure across all systems here is 27,000 miles; the figures below show which parts of the car run ahead of that and which run behind.
The engine accounts for 42.0% of complaints (1,568 reports, 462 of them with a mileage figure), and it fails late — a median of 56,000 miles, considerably beyond the vehicle's overall median. That pattern is consistent with normal service life rather than a defect, though it matters for anyone buying an example already near that mileage. The middle half of these reports falls between 16,000 and 87,000 miles.
A single system taking 42.0% of all complaints is a concentration worth noting. It means that for this generation, most of what owners reported came back to one area of the car rather than being distributed across many small faults.
The transmission and driveline accounts for 25.9% of complaints (966 reports, 599 of them with a mileage figure), and it fails early — a median of 8,000 miles, well before the vehicle's overall median. Failures clustered this far below the rest of the car usually point to a design or manufacturing problem rather than wear, because wear does not selectively target one system on low-mileage examples. The middle half of these reports falls between 2,000 and 22,000 miles.
Problems owners could not categorise accounts for 13.5% of complaints (506 reports, 152 of them with a mileage figure), with a median of 27,000 miles, close to the vehicle's overall pattern. The middle half of these reports falls between 5,500 and 60,000 miles.
The electrical system accounts for 10.8% of complaints (402 reports, 157 of them with a mileage figure), and it fails late — a median of 40,000 miles, considerably beyond the vehicle's overall median. That pattern is consistent with normal service life rather than a defect, though it matters for anyone buying an example already near that mileage. The middle half of these reports falls between 8,500 and 70,000 miles.
Body structure accounts for 7.7% of complaints (289 reports, 136 of them with a mileage figure), and it fails late — a median of 58,000 miles, considerably beyond the vehicle's overall median. That pattern is consistent with normal service life rather than a defect, though it matters for anyone buying an example already near that mileage. The middle half of these reports falls between 40,000 and 70,000 miles.
Throttle and speed control accounts for 6.3% of complaints (235 reports, 138 of them with a mileage figure), and it fails early — a median of 9,500 miles, well before the vehicle's overall median. Failures clustered this far below the rest of the car usually point to a design or manufacturing problem rather than wear, because wear does not selectively target one system on low-mileage examples. The middle half of these reports falls between 2,000 and 29,000 miles.
Known problems with the 2016–2021 Tucson
Transmission (7-Speed Dct) 2016–2018
Clutch application logic causes delayed engagement, hesitation and jerking at low speed, and repeated accelerator pedal cycling in high ambient temperatures can leave the vehicle unable to accelerate at all; owners also report loss of power and stalling. NHTSA recall 16V-628 covered 2016 Tucsons with the 7-speed DCT built 20 May 2015 to 31 May 2016; a class action settled for $41.2 million with a warranty extension and repair reimbursement, and MY2017 cars required a TCM software update.
Engine (2.4L Theta Ii Gdi) 2016–2019
Connecting-rod bearing wear and seizure from oil-passage debris — the same Theta II mechanism as the LM, covered by the engine settlement and KSDS software campaign.
Brakes / ABS (hecu) 2019–2021
Electrical short in the ABS hydraulic electronic control unit can ignite even with the vehicle parked and off; Hyundai issued recalls with a park-outside advisory covering 2019-2021 Tucsons among other models.
Before you buy a 2016–2021 Tucson: the 3-minute check
Generated from 1,520 mileage-tagged complaints, 6 recall campaigns, 3 documented problem areas. Print this page — the checklist survives print.
- Run the VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls. 6 campaigns cover this generation; an open recall is a free repair you can make the seller's problem.
- Ask for transmission and driveline repair records. Reports on this area come at a median of 8,000 miles — on any car this age it already happened or never will; the question is whether it was fixed under warranty.
- Ask for throttle and speed control repair records. Reports on this area come at a median of 9,500 miles — on any car this age it already happened or never will; the question is whether it was fixed under warranty.
- Check transmission (7-Speed DCT) on 2016–2018 cars. Clutch application logic causes delayed engagement, hesitation and jerking at low speed, and repeated accelerator pedal cycling in high ambient temperatures can leave the vehicle unable to accelerate at all; owners also…
- Check engine (2.4L theta ii gdi) on 2016–2019 cars. Connecting-rod bearing wear and seizure from oil-passage debris — the same Theta II mechanism as the LM, covered by the engine settlement and KSDS software campaign.
- Check brakes / ABS (hecu) on 2019–2021 cars. Electrical short in the ABS hydraulic electronic control unit can ignite even with the vehicle parked and off; Hyundai issued recalls with a park-outside advisory covering 2019-2021 Tucsons among other models.
- Complaint reports are not spread evenly across model years here — see the by-model-year table below before you settle on a year.
- End with a pre-purchase inspection of this car. Aggregate data describes the population; the example in front of you has its own history.
For a buyer, an early-failure pattern is comparatively good news on a used example: 37% of the reported failures occur in the first 12,000 miles, which on a car of this age means they have already happened or they were never going to. Service history matters more than mileage here.
On inspection, the engine and the transmission and driveline are where this generation's reports concentrate, so those are the areas worth a specific look. The transmission and driveline in particular shows a median failure mileage of 8,000, which gives a concrete number to compare against the odometer of any car you are considering.
None of this is a substitute for a pre-purchase inspection on the individual car. Aggregate patterns describe a population; the example in front of you has its own history.

2016–2021 Hyundai Tucson recalls (6)
NHTSA records 6 recall campaigns covering vehicles in this generation. A recall means the manufacturer or the regulator concluded there was a safety defect or a standard was not met, and that a free remedy is owed to owners — including second and later owners.
1 of these carry a severe advisory — NHTSA's do not drive or park outside warnings, which the agency applies only when it considers the risk immediate. If you own one of these vehicles, that is the first thing to check by VIN.
Recall status is specific to the individual vehicle, not the model. Checking a VIN against NHTSA's lookup is free and takes under a minute, and it is the only way to know whether a particular car has had the work done.

These flags are self-reported by complainants and unverified by NHTSA; one report can carry several flags, so the counts overlap and do not sum to a total. They are not adjusted for how many of these vehicles are on the road. No chart is drawn here on purpose: overlapping counts spanning very different magnitudes cannot be honestly encoded as lengths.
Tucson problems by model year
The 2016 drew the most complaints of this generation, 1,619, most of them about the transmission and driveline, and the 2021 the fewest, 79. A typical year drew about 388.
That makes the 2016 stand out at roughly 4.2 times a typical year. A count like this follows how many cars of each year were sold and how long they have been on the road as much as how often they failed, so it is not by itself evidence of a worse year; what each year's reports name, in its card and row, is the useful part.
