Every Hyundai Elexio in Australia recalled for sudden braking, and deliveries paused

Why it matters: If you own an Elexio, contact an authorised Hyundai dealer to arrange a loan car until the fix is ready, or call Hyundai Customer Care on 1800 186 306. Buyers still waiting for delivery can get a loan car too.

Hyundai Australia has recalled all 1,619 Elexio electric SUVs here, including cars still waiting to be delivered, because the Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist system can brake suddenly when there's no need to, which could raise the risk of a rear-end crash. 944 had reached owners by the end of October. The permanent fix needs new hardware and a software update, which Hyundai estimates will be ready in February 2027 but says that timing may change, and it has paused Elexio deliveries until then.

How we work it out, and our sources

Weekly cost = the car's energy use × 250 km × your electricity or fuel price, with 90% of charging at home. Prices are list prices at November 2026; check with the dealer.

  • Electricity: 2026–27 default rates (AER, Victorian Default Offer, state retailers). Public charging: Sydney network prices, July 2026.
  • Petrol and diesel: capital-city daily averages from state government price feeds, via FuelRadar, 12 November 2026. Diesel for Hobart, Canberra and Darwin is estimated from the national fall.
  • Cars: maker figures via CarExpert, Drive, CarsGuide and EV Central. Plug-in electric range is taken as 80% of the claim.
  • Servicing: published capped prices; marked as an estimate where not yet published (CarExpert comparison).
  • Tyres: an EV set lasts about 35,000 km, a petrol or hybrid set 50,000 km (RACV); prices from Gridly.
  • Home charger: about $2,000 installed ($1,000–$3,000). Novated leases: PwC summary.
