Official summary

Some Kona (SX2) vehicles may experience battery drain due to faulty logic keeping the taillights illuminated while the vehicle is parked and turned off. Follow the procedures outlined in this TSB to update the Body Domain Controller (BDC) to the latest software.

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.
