Official summary
This Pitstop provides information to diagnose common areas of concern related to wind noise on some 2020-2022MY Sportage (QL) vehicles, and possible repairs to alleviate the noise once the source of noise has been identified. These concerns may include a customer complaint of generalized wind noise or hearing a high pitch wind noise, both when driving between 40-60 mph.

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.
