Is there a fix? Manufacturer service bulletins
The manufacturer has issued service bulletins covering powertrain 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.
This TSB provides a procedure to diagnose and replace, if necessary, an automatic transmission with Incorrect Ratio DTC (transmission clutch slip in gear above limit) listed on Page 2.
full bulletin at NHTSA ↗This bulletin provides the procedure to update the Transmission Control Module (TCM) for the 2022MY Tucson (NX4/NX4a) vehicles and the Engine Control Module (ECM) for the 2022-24MY Tucson vehicles to improve operation of the Idle Stop and Go (ISG) system. Under certain circumstances the vehicle may not restart after ISG system has engaged and require a manual restart due to the lack of intake manifold pressure recovery.
