Hyundai filed this with NHTSA as a service campaign dated Nov 26, 2025, received Oct 3, 2025, about the engine — 3 documents under this number: 25-01-068H-1 DCS, 25-01-068H-1, 25-01-068H TSB. It names 1 model year (2025). A service campaign is not a safety recall — there is no NHTSA campaign number and no federal requirement — but it is usually work the manufacturer pays for on the vehicles it names; the dealer checks the VIN against the manufacturer’s list.

What the bulletin says

The build date is on the certification label in the driver’s door jamb; the dealer settles a borderline vehicle by its VIN.

Common questions
Source: NHTSA, 49 CFR 579.5Is Hyundai TEK a recall?
No. A service campaign is a manufacturer communication filed with NHTSA under 49 CFR 579.5; a safety recall carries an NHTSA campaign number (two digits, a letter, six digits) and a federal duty to repair for free. Check the vehicle’s recalls by VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls, or on its page here.
Is the TEK repair free?
A service campaign is usually paid by the manufacturer on the vehicles it names, within the terms and time limit the document sets; the dealer checks the VIN against the manufacturer’s list.
Which vehicles does TEK cover?
The manufacturer filed it against 1 model year: 2025 Hyundai Tucson. Whether one particular vehicle is affected is a matter of its VIN and its build, not its model year alone. The document itself sets the build window: built 9 Jun 2025 – 16 Jul 2025; built 18 Jun 2025 – 25 Jun 2025 — the build date is on the certification label in the driver’s door jamb.
