I am reporting a safety concern involving the rear turn signals on my Hyundai Tucson 2026. When the turn signal is activated, the signal is difficult to see from a vehicle that is very close behind the Tucson, particularly when the following vehicle is positioned directly behind or at certain angles. The location and/or visibility of the rear turn signal may make it difficult for a following driver to recognize that the Tucson is signaling a lane change or turn. I believe this presents a potential safety concern because a driver following closely may not receive a sufficiently clear visual indication of the vehicle's intended maneuver. I am requesting that NHTSA review whether the rear turn-signal design and visibility on this vehicle presents a safety-related defect and whether similar complaints have been reported for this model. I can provide additional information, photographs, videos, or details about the circumstances in which I observed the visibility problem if needed.

IF IT WERE NIGHTTIME THE DISPLAY WOULD BE UNREADABLE AND I WOULDN'T BE ABLE TO SEE MY SPEED OR OTHER IMPORTANT INDICATORS WHICH WOULD PUT ME AND OTHER DRIVERS AT RISK.
