INOPERATIVE HORN ASSEMBLY REPLACEMENT
(WARRANTY EXTENSION Z09)

Description: Certain Santa Fe Hybrid (TM HEV) and Santa Fe Plug-In Hybrid (TM PHEV) vehicles
may have an inoperable horn that may be caused by foreign substances causing internal parts to
oxidize.
Hyundai is extending the warranty coverage for the horn replacement under this condition to 10 years
or 120,000 miles from the date of original retail delivery or date of first use (whichever occurs first) and
is valid for original and subsequent owners.
If a horn needs to be replaced, follow the instructions within this TSB to install the latest design.
Please note that any vehicles under 10 years/120,000 miles are covered by this TSB, even if vehicle
is within original warranty of 5 years/60,000 miles.
