Important Recall Campaign Information
Date: September 6, 2016
Attn: Dealer Principal/General Manager/Service Manager/Parts Manager
Subject: Recall Campaign 149: 2016 Tucson Dual Clutch Transmission Reprograming
Affected Vehicles
Hyundai has launched a safety recall to reprogram the Transmission Control Module (TCM) with updated software on certain 2016 Model Year Hyundai Tucson vehicles equipped with a Dual Clutch Transmission (DCT).
Reason for this Recall
In higher ambient temperatures and specific operating conditions, the transmission clutch application logic can result in a delayed transmission engagement when accelerating from a stop. If the accelerator pedal is steadily depressed for approximately 1.5 to 2 seconds, the vehicle will begin to accelerate and normal driving is resumed. However, if the accelerator pedal is repeatedly cycled, the vehicle will not accelerate.
Service Action
- Dealers must perform this Recall Campaign on all affected vehicles prior to customer retail delivery and whenever an affected vehicle is in the shop for any maintenance or repair. DO NOT DELIVER any of the affected vehicles until the necessary procedures have been performed.
- The Technical Service Bulletin (TSB) #16-01-038 was launched today, 9/06/16, and describes the procedure to reprogram the TCM.
- Service campaign TMM will be inactivated today, 9/06/16 and any uncompleted TMM VINs will become part of recall campaign 149. The update procedure is the same.
- Affected VINs are posted on WebDCS> Service Tab> Information> Uncompleted Campaign VIN Listing – Dealer Stock and Retailed.
Customer Notification
Hyundai Motor America will notify all owners of the vehicles described above to return their vehicles to their Hyundai dealers for repair. Customer notification letters of the recall campaign are scheduled to be mailed in late September, 2016.
