TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN: AVNT COAXIAL CABLE REPLACEMENT - This bulletin has been revised to include additional information. New/revised sections of this bulletin are indicated by a black bar in the margin area. This bulletin provides the procedure to replace the Audio Video Navigation Telematics (AVNT) head unit coaxial cable on some 2023MY Sportage (NQ5a) vehicles produced from August 5, 2021 through May 25, 2023. The affected vehicles may experience the AVNT screen flickering ‘ON/OFF’ due to an intermittent contact of the coaxial cable connector with the AVNT head unit.

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.
