  Summary

  TSB: VOLUNTARY SERVICE CAMPAIGN: ECM UPGRADE - MIL ON WITH DTC P0087 (SC114) - THIS BULLETIN PROVIDES INFORMATION RELATED TO AN ECM SOFTWARE UPDATE FOR THE ENGINE CONTROL UNIT (ECU) IN CERTAIN 2012~2014MY SORENTO, 2012~2013MY OPTIMA, AND 2012~2013MY SPORTAGE VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH THE 2.4L AND 2.0L TURBO GDI ENGINES. THE SUBJECT VEHICLE’S ENGINES ARE EQUIPPED WITH A GASOLINE DIRECT INJECTION (GDI) SYSTEM THAT UTILIZES A FLOW CONTROL VALVE (FCV) TO CONTROL THE SUPPLY OF FUEL. THE FCV NEEDLE MAY EXPERIENCE EXCESSIVE WEAR, EVENTUALLY RESULTING IN IMPAIRMENT OF FUEL FLOW. IF THAT HAPPENS, AND TO PROTECT THE ENGINE, THE ECU MAY REDUCE ENGINE ACCELERATION WHILE ILLUMINATING THE “CHECK ENGINE” OR MALFUNCTION INDICATOR LAMP (MIL). THE ECU UPDATE WILL IMPROVE THE DURABILITY AND OPERATION OF THE FCV NEEDLE.

  PITSTOP: WATER LEAK/CONDENSATION IN REAR OUTER TAIL LAMP(S) - ON SOME 2014~2015MY OPTIMA (QF) VEHICLES, CUSTOMERS MAY COMPLAIN ABOUT WATER DROPLETS FORMING INSIDE THE REAR TAIL LAMP LENSES FOLLOWING A RAINSTORM OR AFTER WASHING THEIR VEHICLE. THESE WATER DROPLETS ARE MORE VISIBLE AT NIGHT AND THE QUANTITY OF WATER PRESENT IS MORE THAN JUST A THIN FILM OF CONDENSATION WHICH MAY NOT EASILY EVAPORATE. THIS CONCERN IS CAUSED BY A GAP BETWEEN THE TAIL LAMP HOUSING GASKET AND VEHICLE BODY WHICH ALLOWS WATER TO INFILTRATE INTO THE TAIL LAMP. TO RESOLVE THIS CONCERN, ORDER ADDITIONAL FOAM GASKETS (ONE ADDITIONAL PER SIDE) AND INSTALL THEM BETWEEN THE LEFT AND RIGHT TAIL LAMPS AND THE BODY OF THE VEHICLE, AS OUTLINED BELOW.
