Official summary

Some Sonata Hybrid (LF HEV) vehicles may experience a small oil leak from the electric oil pump (EOP) seals. If so, follow the Service Procedure in this bulletin to inspect and repair the oil seals between the transmission and EOP. No drivability issues are associated with this condition.

What a TSB means. Technical service bulletins are repair guidance manufacturers send to dealers — they are not recalls, and repairs are not automatically free (warranty extensions are an exception worth checking). The full document is available via NHTSA’s vehicle lookup.
