Tucson door that will not open first time: door latch with extended warranty (2015–2016)

Engine / equipment

Early Hyundai Tucson (TL) (all versions: it is a door part)

Period mentioned

2015–2016

Symptoms

The inside or outside handle of a door does not open it, or it takes several pulls to open.

Possible cause described

According to Hyundai USA bulletin 21-BD-006H (May 2021), on Tucsons built from 19/5/2015 to 17/12/2016 the door latch fails (the latch inside the door, not the handle). Hyundai extended its warranty to 10 years with no mileage limit and replaces it with a new one.

Check for the garage

Try each door with the inside and outside handle, with the lock released. If one fails, the garage replaces that door's latch; ask Hyundai by VIN whether your car has the extended warranty.

Cost cited in the source

In the US, free under the warranty extended to 10 years; in Europe, ask Hyundai.A rough figure from the original database, not an up-to-date quote.
