Auto Correct: Gunk

from Auto Correct

We’ve got a little bit of this and that and a bunch of gunk! Learn about gunk in your – not your trunk – but in your fuel tank, your transmission fluid, and in your engine’s oil. We’ll also talk about upcoming drives – vacation and racing.

That interim repair is to follow instructions to perform a battery update through the vehicle’s infotainment system or request a Hyundai dealer to provide the update. Once parts are available, dealers will replace the battery system assembly. All repairs will be performed for free.
