***IMPORTANT Dealer Stock and Retail Vehicles ***

Dealers must perform Service Campaign T3G on all vehicles that return with DTC P1326.

Affected Vehicles

Hyundai has launched a Service Campaign for applicable vehicles with 2.0L Turbo and 2.4L GDI engines that may experience the Check
Engine warning lamp illuminated with DTC P1326.
The affected vehicles include:
• Certain 2011-2014 MY Sonata (YF) vehicles with 2.0L Turbo and 2.4L engines
• Certain 2015-2019 MY Sonata (LF) vehicles with 2.0L Turbo and 2.4L engines

• Certain 2018-2019 MY Tucson (TL) vehicles with 2.4L engines
• Certain 2019 MY Veloster N (JSN) vehicles with 2.0L Turbo engines
Hyundai is initiating this action to ensure the quality of its vehicles and the continued satisfaction of Hyundai customers.

Description

Applicable vehicles with 2.0L Turbo and 2.4L GDI engines may experience the Check Engine warning lamp illuminated with DTC P1326.
Follow the procedures on TSB #20-01-004H-1 (supersedes TSB #20-01-004H) to inspect the vehicle and replace the engine or update
the engine ECU software based on the inspection results.

Before Proceeding with T3G

Make sure to always confirm diagnosis meets warranty eligibility requirements before proceeding with any repairs. If a vehicle is brought
in for an engine condition unrelated to T3G (e.g. oil consumption), please follow the proper engine diagnosis procedures. If the vehicle is
diagnosed with a condition of engine oil consumption, please follow TSB# 03-20-001 (Oil Consumption Test Procedure) for further
instructions. Engine oil consumption is not a condition that would qualify for an engine replacement under T3G.

Service Action
Reservation – Always check the Vehicle Information Screen in WebDCS for open campaigns and recalls, and
advise the customer on time requirements. If there is an open recall 132 or 162, make sure to complete prior to
determining if T3G is required.
• Make sure to check your appointment reservation settings and verify customer information. This will help reduce
unplanned work and speed up the customer check in process.
• Make sure to review Blue Link alerts with DTC P1326 and reach out accordingly.
• Provide customer with transportation options such as SRC or alternative vehicle.

Readiness – Review this announcement and the accompanying FAQs with all Service and Parts staff including
Reservationist/BDC. Also, complete all applicable training, check your reservation capacity settings (you can set separate
capacities for every recall/campaign), confirm email addresses for campaign appointments, and that you have all necessary
tools, campaign parts and shop equipment as needed.
• Make sure to have necessary Special Service Tools to perform campaign (see TSB #20-01-004H-1 for more details).
• This campaign can possibly require additional repairs after initial inspection; make sure to prepare for unplanned work and
maintain sufficient staff to keep vehicles moving through the shop.
• Ensure the entire team completes the “Engine Support” training course on HLP.
Reception – Always check the Vehicle Information Screen in WebDCS for open campaigns and recalls, and print a
copy for technicians. If there is an open recall 132 or 162, make sure to complete prior to determining if T3G
is required. Provide SRC or an alternative vehicle, as needed. If a customer has declined the campaign, note this
on the repair order and request the customer’s signature next to the statement.
• It is important to explain to each customer during the reception step of the service process what happens if their vehicle
requires additional repairs after the inspection process.
• Make sure to advise customers of potential vehicle down time and provide alternative transportation such as an SRC or 3rd
party rental.
 All customers that come in with P1326 or “Engine Protection Mode” should be provided an SRC or
alternative 3rd Party Rental. All SRC or Rental claims will be reimbursed regardless of PA’s decision to
cover the engine replacement.
• Do not charge diagnosis for vehicles that previously had campaign 953 performed and return to the dealership in “Engine
Protection Mode” or with DTC P1326.
Repair – Always plug in the GDS before starting the repair. Make sure to complete an MPI on all vehicles and Quality
Control your work. If there is an open recall 132 or 162, make sure to complete prior to determining if T3G is
required.
• Please review the TSB thoroughly as the service procedures have been updated.
• Make sure to check through GDS that the vehicle has the latest software installed.
• Confirm the GDS-M has the latest software update prior to plugging it in to the vehicle.
• This campaign can possibly require additional repairs. Make sure to refer to the most current TSB for all necessary steps
of the repair process and view the Service Procedure Flowchart on page 4 of TSB #20-01-004H-1.
• Make sure to quality control work after repair is complete and confirm condition is resolved.
• Record the audio station presets (XM,AM,FM, etc) prior to disconnecting the battery.
• Clear DTC P1326 with engine ON. P1326 may reset if not cleared with the Engine ON.
• If an engine replacement is required, PA may request dealers to perform additional steps before approving replacement.
Dealers will be compensated for this additional time and such steps may include connecting the GDS to retrieve additional
information from the vehicle.
• Follow the Service Procedure Flowchart found on page 4 of TSB #20-01-004H-1 and update Engine ECM if new
version is available (Campaign 953).

Return – Review all completed campaign and repairs to answer any customer questions. Also, schedule the customer’s
next service.
• It’s important to explain to each customer during the return step of the service process that the 953 Engine Improvement
Campaign is still active and they should contact the dealership if any Check Engine Light is illuminated or Engine
Protection Mode is activated.
• If a vehicle passes the bearing inspection test, ask your technician to print a copy of the results and present to the
customer. Also, remember to inform the customer whose vehicle passed the bearing inspection test, that the vehicle has
received the latest software update to monitor the health of their vehicle.
Reconnect – Follow up for customer satisfaction.
