TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN: SERVICE ACTION: FRONT CAMERA OPERATION LOGIC IMPROVEMENT (SA449) - This bulletin has been revised to include additional information.

This bulletin provides the procedure to update the software of the Front Camera (FR_CMR) on some Sportage (QL) vehicles, produced from December 19, 2018 through December 3, 2020, to minimize the sensitivity of the Lane Departure Warning (LDW) / Lane Keep Assist (LKA) system.
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.
