NHTSA's summary

This bulletin provides information related to the Engine Control Module (ECM) / Hybrid Control Unit (HCU) software update for Tucson Hybrid (NX4 HEV) / Plug-in Hybrid (NX4 PHEV) vehicles to improve the following DTC and symptoms: 1. P1441 (EVAP System Flow During Non-Purge Condition) a. Misdiagnosis due to insufficient margin of pressure deviation when driving at constant speed with low engine load i. Logic improvement to eliminate misdiagnosis 2. P1A77 (Check Generator Belt) a. Misdiagnosis due to poor synchronization release when the engine is stopped i. Logic improvement to release synchronization even if CAM signal is active when engine is stopped 3. P00B7 (Engine Coolant Flow Low/Performance) a. ITM control error due to temporary ball valve stuck i. Improvement to ITM cleaning logic (1 time -> 5 times) 4. P2118 (Throttle Actuator Control Motor Current Range/Performance) / P0401 (EGR Flow Insufficient Detected) 5. P0236 (Turbocharger System Boost Sensor A Circuit Range/Performance) / P0299 (Turbocharger underboost) a. Failure due to EGR condensate freezing i. Change the EGR Flow diagnosis condition (-40℃ → -7℃) 6. P2B60 (Engine Coolant Flow Control Valve Position Sensor Circuit Range/Performance) a. Insufficient control at the end point when ITM cleaning logic completes operation i. Improve the ITM cleaning logic for better control 7. Oil Dilution: Some vehicles may experience increased oil consumption and white smoke due to the diluting of engine oil with fuel because of the frequent transition between EV ↔ Engine mode during the winter season a. Modify fuel injection strategy below 10℃ and add oil heating function based on the driving pattern.

Certain Santa Fe Hybrid (TM HEV), Santa Fe Plug-in Hybrid (TM PHEV), Tucson Hybrid (NX4 HEV), andTucson Plug-in Hybrid (NX4 PHEV) vehicles may experience intake air line freezing and Exhaust GasRecirculation (EGR) valve corrosion due to excessive condensation accumulating within the EGR system.This condition can lead to drivability concerns related to the following DTCs: - P040400: (Exhaust Gas Recirculation Control Circuit Range) - P049D00: (EGR 'A' Control Position Exceeded Learning Limit) - P047100: (Exhaust Pressure Sensor 'A' Circuit Range/Performance) - P012800: Coolant Thermostat (Coolant Temperature below Thermostat Regulation Temperature) - P262B00: (Control Module Power Off Timer Performance) - P050C00: Cold Start Engine Coolant Temperature Performance - P1DFD00: (EVAP System Purge Pump Target Speed) - P2DFD00: (EVAP System Purge Pump Performance) - P112000: (Inlet Metering Valve – Malfunction) - P033500: (Crankshaft Position Sensor A)
26-EM-016H TSB	2026-10-14. Service bulletin. 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	2026-10-13. Service bulletin. 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.
