Bulletin Summary

VOLUNTARY SERVICE CAMPAIGN: HIGH-VOLTAGE BATTERY SAFETY PLUG FUSE INSPECTION AND REPLACEMENT (SC269) - This bulletin provides information to inspect and, if necessary, replace the High Voltage Battery (HVB) Safety Plug Fuse Assembly or Main Fuse on 2013-2016MY Optima Hybrid (TF HEV) vehicles produced from September 27, 2012 through July 22, 2015. The high-voltage fuse in the subject vehicles may have been replaced with an improper aftermarket fuse by third-party repair facilities. A fuse of incorrect capacity may experience a shortened service life, which may result in illumination of the “Hybrid System Warning” and/or “Check Engine Light,” followed by a no-start condition. Furthermore, an improper aftermarket fuse may fail and result in a fire.

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.
