Official summary

On certain 2017 MY Sonata (LF) and Santa Fe Sport (AN) vehicles, a screw securing the alternator?s regulator may not have been properly torqued during assembly. If this condition exists, the interior and/or exterior lights may flicker, and the alternator?s charging function may be affected illuminating the charging system warning light in the instrument cluster.

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.
