What the Hyundai Coupe recalls are about
Parts named most often in DVSA’s recall text for the Hyundai Coupe: suspension (1 recall) [1].
The latest, R/2012/070 (July 2012), in DVSA’s words: It may be possible for corrosion to attack the front suspension arms from the inside
[1].
One of these recalls concerns suspension, an area that is also one of the Hyundai Coupe’s five most common MOT fail areas: 13.2 in 100 tests at 16 years old [2]. A recall is a maker’s defect in a batch of cars and an MOT fail is wear or damage found at a test: the overlap does not mean one causes the other.
DfT counted 4,117 Hyundai Coupe cars licensed in the UK at the end of 2025 [3]; the versions most often licensed are the Coupe Siii A (mostly first used 2007 to 2009), the Coupe SE (mostly first used 2002 to 2006) and the Coupe Siii (mostly first used 2007 to 2009). The recalls here name cars built 2002 to 2003; the build dates on each row decide which cars they cover.

How to check a Hyundai Coupe was fixed
- Ask the seller for proof that recall R/2012/070 was done. A dealer invoice or job card names the recall reference or the manufacturer's campaign code.
- Enter the registration on GOV.UK. The DVSA vehicle recall checker shows recalls still open on that vehicle.
- Or check the flag here. Check a Hyundai Coupe for an outstanding recall: whether DVSA's MOT record for that registration flags an outstanding safety recall, and the likely campaign when one matches the model and build date.
- Ask a Hyundai dealer. With the vehicle identification number (VIN) a dealer can see which recalls apply and whether the work is on record.
These pages cannot tell you whether one car is included: DVSA publishes models and build dates, not VINs.
