Official summary

Hyundai Motor America is conducting a Service Campaign to update the ECM software and inspect and (if necessary) replace the VCM actuator on certain 2015-16MY Sonata 2.4L vehicles. Service Campaign T1H provides a procedure to update the ECM software and inspect the VCM actuator.

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.
