When towing a trailer with some LF/LF-HEV/LF-PHEV Sonatas or some AN/NC Santa Fe vehicles equipped with the Blind Spot Detection (BSD) feature, the trailer may interfere with the BSD system operation resulting in cancellation of the BSD operation. When this occurs, a ?BSD canceled? message is displayed in the vehicle?s instrument cluster. The ?BSD canceled? message remains on even if the customer manually disables the BSD system, and may result in customer complaints. This bulletin provides the service procedure to update the system software to turn off the ?BSD canceled? message when the BSD system is manually disabled.

NHTSA source summary · Original PDF not reviewed by Recallfolio
Hyundai has launched a service campaign to inspect and if needed, repair the evaporative emissions canister and bracket on certain model year 2011? 2015 Hyundai Sonata Hybrid and 2012 ? 2016 Veloster vehicles. This campaign affects such vehicles registered in and operated in Alaska, Connecticut, Delaware, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, North Dakota, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, South Dakota, Utah, Vermont, West Virginia, and Wisconsin, and the District of Columbia. Reason for this Service Campaign During winter months, large quantities of salt are used to de-ice roads in the states noted above. Road salt and water can corrode the bracket holding the canister in place; as well as the seal within the canister. This can result in the need to replace these components and if necessary, the canister itself.

CERTAIN 2015 AND 2016 MODEL YEAR HYUNDAI SONATAS AND 2016 SONATA HYBRIDS COME EQUIPPED WITH AN OPTIONAL PANORAMIC SUNROOF. THE SUNROOF ASSEMBLY INCORPORATES A WIND DEFLECTOR TO HELP REDUCE WIND NOISE IN THE PASSENGER COMPARTMENT WHEN THE SUNROOF IS OPEN. IF THE WIND DEFLECTOR BECOMES PARTIALLY DETACHED FROM ITS MOUNTING BRACKET WHILE THE SUNROOF IS OPEN, THE DEFLECTOR CAN INTERFERE WITH THE CLOSING OF THE MOVEABLE SUNROOF PANEL. IN SOME CASES THIS INTERFERENCE CAN RESULT IN THE SUNROOF PANEL DETACHING FROM ITS MOUNTING TABS. IF THE SUNROOF PANEL DETACHES WHILE THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION, THE PANEL COULD BECOME AN OBSTACLE TO OTHER DRIVERS, INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH.
