Hyundai filed this with NHTSA as a warranty extension dated Aug 4, 2026, received Jul 21, 2026, about the visibility/wiper — 4 documents under this number: Z08 OL, 26-BD-007H DCS, 26-BD-007H DN, 26-BD-007H TSB. It names 8 model years (2022–2025). A warranty extension 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

What it applies to, as the document itself states it — the build window in the manufacturer’s own words, read by machine from the PDF NHTSA serves. The build date is on the certification label in the driver’s door jamb; the dealer settles a borderline vehicle by its VIN.
Certain 2022 – 2025 model year Santa Cruz and 2022 – 2025 model year Tucson vehicles may have front wipers that do not return to the designated park position due to a loose wiper motor crank arm nut. At Hyundai, we are committed to providing vehicles of outstanding quality and value. In an effort to meet this commitment, the warranty coverage for the Wiper Motor Crank Arm Nut under these conditions has been extended to 10 years/100,000 miles from the date of original retail delivery or date of first use (whichever occurs first) and is valid for original and subsequent owners.

The summary is NHTSA’s abstract of the document, as filed under 49 CFR 579.5. One communication is usually filed as several documents — the bulletin, a dealer notice, an owner letter — and the number on any of them finds this page. A PDF link is shown only once NHTSA’s own server has been seen to serve that document; the rest are checked over the following nights. Quote the number at a service desk; it is what the dealer’s system is keyed on.

What owners reported
Source: NHTSA complaint databaseOwners of the 8 model years this bulletin names have filed 1,619 complaints with NHTSA since 2015.
Washer fluid does not distribute properly on the windshield especially at highway speeds causing the wipers to leave streaks in the middle of the windshield right in the driver's field of vision. The vast majority of the fluid hits at the base of the windshield and runs off at an angle towards the driver's side window.
2022 Hyundai Santa Cruz · Visibility/Wiper · filed with NHTSA Feb 25, 2022 · ODI 11454157
The windshield wipers on our 2022 Hyundai Tucson are failing. They still work but will randomly stop in the middle of the windshield blocking our vision. Yes, the problem has been reproduced by a dealer during our second visit.
2022 Hyundai Tucson · Visibility/Wiper · filed with NHTSA Nov 19, 2022 · ODI 11494256
The windshield had a minuscule chip at the edge and it developed into a big crack. It seems like product defect and maybe dangerous
2023 Hyundai Tucson · Visibility/Wiper · filed with NHTSA Jun 5, 2025 · ODI 11665144
A complaint is one owner’s account, not a defect finding, and a bulletin is not a recall. Nothing here says this bulletin was issued because of these complaints, or that the repair it describes fixed them. Complaint files on this site begin in 2015.

Common questions
Source: NHTSA, 49 CFR 579.5Is Hyundai Z08 a recall?
No. A warranty extension 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 Z08 repair free?
A warranty extension 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 Z08 cover?
The manufacturer filed it against 8 model years: 2025 Hyundai Santa Cruz, 2024 Hyundai Santa Cruz, 2023 Hyundai Santa Cruz, 2022 Hyundai Santa Cruz, 2025 Hyundai Tucson, 2024 Hyundai Tucson and more. 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 5 Jun 2024 – 31 Mar 2025; built 26 May 2021 – 6 Apr 2025; built 3 Feb 2021 – 11 May 2025 — the build date is on the certification label in the driver’s door jamb.
