Is there a fix? Manufacturer service bulletins
The manufacturer has issued service bulletins covering body on this vehicle — documented repair instructions, service campaigns, or warranty extensions sent to dealers. A TSB isn't a recall (it's not a free safety remedy), but it's the manufacturer acknowledging the issue and how to fix it.
Certain 2023-2024MY Tucson (NX4a) vehicles may exhibit delamination of the C-pillar garnish. Follow the procedure in this TSB to replace the C-pillar garnishes for vehicles exhibiting this condition.
full bulletin at NHTSA ↗This bulletin provides repair information for a non-glossy front door pull handle that exhibits paint peeling on certain 2022 â 2023MY Tucson (NX4A) and Santa Cruz (NXT) vehicles. If a vehicle exhibits this paint peeling condition, replace the front door trim panel assembly.
full bulletin at NHTSA ↗Hyundai applies a Paint Protection Film (PPF) on new vehicles before delivery to dealerships. It provides a barrier between the paint and contaminants, such as rail dust, acid rain, and industrial fallout. In rare cases, the paint can become clouded under the PPF. These spots are the result of moisture trapped between the PPF and the paint.
