Official summary

Certain 2024MY Kona Electric (SX2 EV) and 2023-2024MY IONIQ 5 (NE EV) vehicles are equipped with a Motor and Reduction Gear System, also known as Motor-Gear Driven Unit (MGDU), that may have received an incorrect amount of oil/fluid during manufacturing. In some cases, the motor and/or reduction gear can produce a grinding/whining noise during operation. Follow the procedures in this bulletin to drain the existing oil and replace it with new oil to resolve 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.
