Where is the VIN number in Hyundai Tucson (Tucson IV [2021-2021])?

This guide shows you where to find the VIN on the Hyundai Tucson IV (NX4) produced between 2021-2021, including the quickest “walk-up” windshield check and the more reliable stamped chassis VIN.

Chassis Number Locations

Floor (Chassis Stamped VIN)

• Where to look: Lift the carpet flap under the front right seat. The VIN is stamped directly into the chassis cross-member (metal stamping under a pre-cut carpet opening).
• Access: Low difficulty, but you must interact with the interior trim. Slide the seat all the way back, then lift/pry the carpet flap (often held by Velcro or a plastic tab). Expect poor lighting under the seat.
• Note: On many LHD vehicles this ends up being commonly on the passenger side, but it’s still on the right side of the vehicle—if you don’t find it there, check the opposite front seat area as well.
• Tip: Because it’s dark and the stamped characters can be low-contrast, use your phone light and scan it directly with the flashlight + OCR VIN reader instead of trying to guess letters/numbers.

Windshield VIN (Dashboard Plate)

• Where to look: Look through the lower corner of the windshield at the VIN plate on the dashboard (side varies by market, but it will be at the bottom corner).
• Access: Very easy—viewable from outside the car—however reflections and glare can make it hard to read.
• Note: For LHD vehicles, the windshield VIN is commonly easier to check from the curb side; for RHD it may appear on the opposite lower corner.
• Tip: If glare is washing out the characters, capture it with your phone using the VIN scanner so you don’t mistype similar characters like 8/B or 5/S.

Certification Label (B-Pillar / Door Jamb)

• Where to look: Open the front door and inspect the B-pillar door jamb area for the black certification label (typically includes VIN and sometimes paint code).
• Access: Easy—no tools—just open the door and read the label.
• Note: Depending on market, the label may be on the driver’s side or passenger side door jamb.
• Tip: If the label print is small or you’re reading it at an angle, use the free VIN reader to scan it cleanly rather than copying it by hand.

Common Problems & Troubleshooting

• Can’t see the stamped VIN under the seat: Slide the seat fully back, then aim a flashlight straight down—under-seat areas are shadowy and the stamping can be body-color/low contrast.
• Carpet flap won’t lift easily: Feel for Velcro or a retaining tab, then pry/lift gently; don’t yank because you can tear the carpet edge.
• Sticker/label looks tampered or missing: Door-jamb labels can be replaced—always cross-check the windshield VIN + stamped floor VIN for a proper match.
