# Service bulletins for the 2026 Hyundai Kona

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.

7 bulletins from NHTSA, as of 2026-10-19.

- [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.
- [DTN DL](/bulletins/11032523.md), 2026-05-08, Other: AIR BAGS. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration \(NHTSA\) has identified the presence of substandard and dangerous driver’s\-side airbag inflators manufactured by Jilin Province Detiannuo Automobile Safety System Co., Ltd. \(DTN\). These inflators were not supplied, approved, or authorized by the vehicle manufacturers and have primarily been found in vehicles that previously experienced a crash and underwent airbag replacement using non\-genuine parts. These dangerous inflators have ruptured during deployment, posing a serious risk of injury or death due to metal fragments entering the vehicle cabin. To date, Hyundai is aware of three people who have died while driving a Hyundai vehicle with one of these substandard replacement airbag inflators that deployed in what likely would have been a survivable crash. NHTSA has issued a public advisory urging vehicle owners and service professionals to have vehicles inspected if there is reason to believe that a non\-genuine replacement airbag may have been installed. Vehicles with salvage or rebuilt titles, prior airbag deployments, or unknown repair histories may present a higher risk. NHTSA strongly cautions against self\-inspection by vehicle owners and recommends inspection by trained technicians.
- [DTN DCS](/bulletins/11032522.md), 2026-05-08, Other: AIR BAGS. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration \(NHTSA\) has issued an urgent safety advisory regarding dangerous, counterfeit driver‑side airbag inflators manufactured by Jilin Province Detiannuo Automobile Safety System Co., Ltd. \(DTN\), that have been identified in U.S. vehicles following prior crashes, theft, or non‑certified airbag replacements. These inflators are not approved for use, may rupture during deployment, and have caused serious injuries and fatalities. Please see attached announcement, provided by NHTSA, for more details.
- [26\-01\-035H TSB](/bulletins/11031315.md), 2026-04-15, Service campaign: ELECTRICAL SYSTEM. Some vehicles may exhibit a loss of connectivity or interruptions in the middle of using Bluelink functions. This may be due to an occasional disconnection on Verizon’s communication network. Follow the procedures in this bulletin to verify Bluelink Data Communication Unit \(DCU\) network connection and if needed, reset the DCU in Dealer Mode to resolve the connection.
- [26\-AD\-001H TSB](/bulletins/11029906.md), 2026-03-07, Service bulletin: FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: WARNINGS; LANE DEPARTURE: ASSIST; EXTERIOR LIGHTING; FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL; LANE DEPARTURE: WARNING. Some 2019MY and newer vehicles equipped with a front view camera may illuminate certain warning lights and trigger DTC C272246 fault code for the front camera. In the following cases, the front camera auto\-calibration range may be exceeded while driving: • If the front camera is not properly installed and is completely or partially detached. • In case of excessive changes affecting the vehicle's balance \(e.g., loading excessively heavy cargo in a specific location of the vehicle, or significant under\-inflation of the tires\). • Specific road conditions affecting the vehicle's balance \(e.g., excessive road crown\) This TSB provides instructions on how to service the vehicle when the front camera related warning light\(s\) are triggered due to system out of calibration \(DTC\_C272246\).
- [25\-BD\-012H TSB](/bulletins/11025476.md), 2025-11-12, Service bulletin: EXTERIOR LIGHTING. This bulletin provides information regarding condensation related to the accumulated moisture in the headlamp, rear combination lamp, daytime running lamp \(DRL\), or fog lamp. This TSB illustrates the various causes of condensation inside the lamp assembly. Lamp assembly replacement is NOT necessary in most cases. This condition can be eliminated by turning on the lamps with the engine running for several minutes or during normal driving operation.
