Complaints owners filed with NHTSA naming each system, per model year; a bold count links the year’s own page on that system. Counts scale with sales and with time on the road; nothing here is a rate, and NHTSA’s headings are coarse (“Power Train” is the transmission and the driveline).

Engine: 1,830 complaints across 11 model years, 36% of everything owners filed about the Hyundai Tucson. A count, not a rate — it says nothing about how many were sold.
Which Hyundai Tucson year has the most complaints?
2016 (1,620), 2017 (1,088), 2022 (502). Older years have had longer to collect them; the year pages show each year's share by system.
