Hyundai warranty extension LA12
Hyundai filed this with NHTSA as a warranty extension dated Mar 16, 2026, received Mar 30, 2026, about the power train — 1 document under this number: 26-01-028H. It names 3 model years (2022–2024). A warranty extension is not a safety recall — there is no NHTSA campaign number and no federal requirement — but it is usually work the manufacturer pays for on the vehicles it names; the dealer checks the VIN against the manufacturer’s list.

Common questions

No. A warranty extension is a manufacturer communication filed with NHTSA under 49 CFR 579.5; a safety recall carries an NHTSA campaign number (two digits, a letter, six digits) and a federal duty to repair for free. Check the vehicle’s recalls by VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls, or on its page here.
Is the LA12 repair free?
A warranty extension is usually paid by the manufacturer on the vehicles it names, within the terms and time limit the document sets; the dealer checks the VIN against the manufacturer’s list.
Which vehicles does LA12 cover?
The manufacturer filed it against 3 model years: 2024 Hyundai Santa Cruz, 2023 Hyundai Santa Cruz, 2022 Hyundai Santa Cruz. Whether one particular vehicle is affected is a matter of its VIN and its build, not its model year alone.
