# Service bulletin 21\-01\-044H

A bulletin is a manufacturer's communication to its dealers, as NHTSA indexes it. The summary is NHTSA's. The document is the manufacturer's: read it at NHTSA. A bulletin is not a recall, and listing a model year does not mean every vehicle of it is concerned.

## Other bulletins for the same vehicles and component

- [26\-EM\-016H TSB](/bulletins/11038458.md), 2026-10-14, Service bulletin: ENGINE. Some vehicles equipped with internal combustion engines may exhibit higher\-than\-expected engine oil consumption. This bulletin outlines the combustion chamber cleaning procedure for vehicles diagnosed with this condition. All internal combustion engines consume some engine oil during normal operation, depending on driving conditions and mileage, and this procedure should only be performed when deemed necessary based on inspection and diagnosis of the vehicle as outlined in TSB 26\-EM\-015H, Engine Oil Consumption – Inspection \& Repair Guidelines, or the latest revision.
- [26\-EM\-015H TSB](/bulletins/11038456.md), 2026-10-13, Service bulletin: ENGINE. Certain vehicles equipped with internal combustion engines may exhibit higher\-than\-expected engine oil consumption. This bulletin provides the inspection and repair procedures for vehicles exhibiting this condition. All internal combustion engines consume engine oil as part of normal engine operation. Oil consumption rates may vary based on mileage, operating conditions, driving habits, and maintenance history. Hyundai recommends following the prescribed maintenance schedule and periodically checking the engine oil level using the dipstick to maintain proper engine oil level.
- [26\-EE\-003H TSB](/bulletins/11031400.md), 2026-04-21, Service bulletin: ENGINE; ELECTRICAL SYSTEM. Some vehicles may exhibit difficulty starting in cold weather. This bulletin provides the procedure to perform an inspection on the starter magnetic switch for potential freezing and, if necessary, replace the starter magnetic switch \(solenoid\) assembly.
- [25\-EM\-007H TSB](/bulletins/11027036.md), 2026-01-06, Service bulletin: ENGINE. Some Elantra \(CN7, CN7A\), Kona \(OS, SX2\), and Sonata Hybrid \(DN8 HEV\) vehicles equipped with 2.0L engines may illuminate a warning lamp for DTC P218100 \(Cooling System Performance\) related to the Integrated Thermal\-Management Module \(ITM\). Follow the service procedure in this bulletin to install a spring onto the thermostat within the ITM, in order to prevent premature opening, and perform an ECU software update on affected vehicles.
- [25\-01\-063H TSB](/bulletins/11023408.md), 2025-10-01, Service campaign: ENGINE. Certain IONIQ Electric \(AE EV\) and Kona Electric \(OS EV\) vehicles may exhibit a restricted coolant flow condition, which may be accompanied by a warning message \(e.g., Coolant Supplement, Refill Inverter Coolant\) in the cluster. No related DTCs are stored, and coolant level is normal in the reservoir tank. The coolant flow may be restricted by debris, causing abnormally high Electric Water Pump \(EWP\) speed. This TSB contains instructions for confirming high RPMs in the EWP, then using the Coolant Flushing Equipment Set to flush and clean debris from the various cooling system circuits. The coolant will be replaced with the updated Electric Vehicle Battery System Coolant \(BSC\-2\) low\-conductivity blue coolant.
- [24\-EM\-005H](/bulletins/11006840.md), 2024-09-04, Service bulletin: ENGINE. Certain 2022MY Kona \(OS\) vehicles may exhibit a slight radiator coolant leak. Follow the procedure outlined in this bulletin to inspect and if necessary, replace the radiator to correct the condition.
- [24\-FL\-003H](/bulletins/10252354.md), 2024-04-02, Service bulletin: ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING. This bulletin contains the software update procedure for the Engine Control Unit \(ECU\) on certain 2021\-2023MY Elantra \(CN7\) and 2022\-2023MY Kona \(OS\) vehicles equipped with the 1.6 liter T\-GDI Gamma 2 engine, that may exhibit a warning lamp with one or more of the DTCs listed below: • P250F \- Engine Oil Level Too Low • P011B, P050C \- Engine Coolant Temperature/intake Air Temperature Correlation • P00B7, P2B60 \- Engine Coolant Flow Low/Performance
- [23\-EM\-005H](/bulletins/10247189.md), 2023-12-15, Service bulletin: ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING. This bulletin provides important checkpoint guidelines when performing engine oil and filter change services.
- [23\-BR\-002H](/bulletins/10243378.md), 2023-10-02, Service bulletin: ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING; ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE:GASOLINE:TURBO/SUPERCHARGER. This bulletin provides the procedure for updating the software of the Electronic Stability Control \(ESC\) on 2022 – 2023MY Kona \(OS\) 1.6L turbo models equipped with smart cruise control. In certain Konas when using smart cruise control \(SCC\), there can be a delayed acceleration response to achieve the set \(higher\) speed, for example, after the slower vehicle ahead departs the lane. SCC Set Speed 74 to 80 MPH Vehicle Speed 62 to 74 MPH
- [23\-01\-049H](/bulletins/10238352.md), 2023-06-30, Service bulletin: ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING; POWER TRAIN. This bulletin provides instructions to correct a condition with BSC\-1 blue coolant flow restriction by debris causing abnormal high EWP \(electric water pump\) speed in certain 2020\-21MY Ioniq Electric \(AE EV\) and 2019\-22 Kona Electric \(OS EV\) models. Vehicle symptoms may include "Coolant supplement” or “Refill Inverter Coolant" warning light On. No related DTC are found stored. Normal inverter coolant reservoir tank level is confirmed. Special tools are required for this campaign to flush and clean debris from different cooling system circuits. The coolant will be replaced by updated BSC\-2 low conductivity blue coolant.
