| Bulletin | Summary |
|---|---|
| 11012046 | Certain 2024MY Tucson (NX4A) vehicles may experience an illuminated check engine light for DTC P059A from a faulty connection due to improper soldering within the sensor components. This bulletin outlines the procedure to replace the active air flap (AAF) on-board diagnostic (OBD) sensors to resolve this issue. |
| 11010978 | Certain Santa Cruz (NXT), Santa Fe (MX5A), Santa Fe Hybrid (MX5A HEV), and Tucson (NX4A) vehicles may exhibit a display screen flickering or intermittently going blank. This may be due to the shield width of the coaxial cable being too wide, causing a loose connection. Follow the procedures in this bulletin to adjust the width of the shield using a supplied shield adjustment jig. |
| 11009154 | Hyundai has become aware that the subject vehicles may contain a faulty sensor in the EGR valve assembly which could potentially result in an electrical short. An electrical short within the EGR valve could lead to a malfunction of the EGR valve or crank position sensor, both of which reside on the same power circuit, resulting in the malfunction indicator light (MIL) illumination and/or sudden loss of drive power during operation. |
| 11008137 | The exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) valve assembly in certain vehicles (listed below) may contain a sensor that was contaminated with solder flux during manufacturing, which could potentially result in an electrical short. An electrical short within the EGR valve could lead to a Malfunction Indicator lamp (MIL) illumination (P0405, P0642, P0652, P0404/P049D/P240F). Follow the information in this bulletin to replace the EGR valve assembly and gasket. |
| 11008136 | The exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) valve assembly in certain vehicles may contain a sensor that was contaminated with solder flux during manufacturing, which could potentially result in an electrical short.
