Bulletin Summary
THE 2017 SANTA FE (NC) AND 2016 2017 TUCSON (TL) ARE AVAILABLE WITH A GENUINE HYUNDAI TRAILER HITCH AND WIRING HARNESS. ON CERTAIN UNITS, WHEN THE TRAILERS LIGHTING WIRING HARNESS IS CONNECTED TO THE VEHICLE, THE TOW HITCH MODULE MAY MALFUNCTION RESULTING IN CONTINUOUS ILLUMINATION OF THE TRAILERS BRAKE AND/OR TURN SIGNAL BULB(S). THIS CONDITION AFFECTS ONLY THE TRAILERS LIGHTING; NOT THE VEHICLES. IF A VEHICLE EQUIPPED WITH THE GENUINE HYUNDAI ACCESSORY TOW PACKAGE IS DRIVEN WITH A TRAILER, IT IS POSSIBLE THAT THE TRAILER LIGHTS WOULD BE UNABLE TO COMPLY WITH FEDERAL MOTOR VEHICLE SAFETY STANDARDS. A FAILURE TO NOTIFY OTHER VEHICLES OF THE DRIVERS INTENT COULD POTENTIALLY INCREASE THE RISK OF A CRASH.
About Technical Service Bulletins
A Technical Service Bulletin (TSB) is a document issued by a vehicle manufacturer to its dealers, describing a known issue with a specific vehicle or set of vehicles and the recommended procedure to fix it. Unlike recalls, TSBs are not mandatory and are typically only performed if an owner reports the related issue. However, TSBs can be an indicator of common problems with a vehicle.
