2019 HYUNDAI VELOSTER — Complaint #2052515
Open-data reference.
NHTSA Complaint about LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES:ELECTRONIC LOCK/LATCH ACTUATOR filed January 2, 2025
NHTSA complaint #2052515 (ODI reference 11633614) concerns a 2019 HYUNDAI VELOSTER and was filed on January 2, 2025. The owner reports the failure occurred on January 31, 2024. The vehicle had 40,000 miles on the odometer at the time of the incident. The report was geocoded to Wisconsin based on the filer's self-reported location. The affected component is categorized as latches/locks/linkages:electronic lock/latch actuator, one of NHTSA's standardized taxonomy codes used to group defect patterns across make, model, and year.
The filer flagged the following severity indicators: crash: no, fire: no, injuries: 0, fatalities: 0. No crash, fire, or fatality was associated with this report, which places it in the early-warning stream rather than the priority-review stream. Because a VIN was supplied, this complaint is tied to a specific vehicle and not just a model-year cohort.
Individual complaints are consumer-submitted and unverified by NHTSA engineers — the agency's role at this stage is to collect, index, and make them searchable. What matters for federal action is the pattern: when many owners of the same HYUNDAI VELOSTER cohort independently describe similar latches/locks/linkages:electronic lock/latch actuator failures, defect investigators have grounds to open a PE and request manufacturer data. Related filings for the same vehicle and component appear below, and the detail page for the full 2019 HYUNDAI VELOSTER shows the complete component-level complaint distribution alongside any active investigations or recalls.
Complaint Description
The contact owns a 2019 Hyundai Veloster. The contact stated that on several occasions while the vehicle was parked in extremely cold weather, the driverâs side door failed to open or close as needed. The vehicle was taken to a dealer where it was diagnosed and determined that the door actuator needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired but the failure reoccurred a year later. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 40,000.
