Official summary

Certain Kona (SX2) vehicles may exhibit a dead battery concern linked to the Multimedia Keyboard (MKBD) logic. The MKBD may not enter sleep mode when the vehicle is turned OFF, causing the battery to be drained. Follow the procedure in this TSB to update the software for the MKBD to address 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.
