LAUNCH QUALITY MONITORING PROCESS (LQMP)
Description:
This bulletin provides information on the Launch Quality Monitoring Process (LQMP) for the
2021MY Hyundai Sonata N Line. After a new vehicle launch, Hyundai uses the LQMP to monitor all
customer and dealer activities at a minimum of 100 days. The Sonata N Line LQMP helps improve
model vehicle quality, and allows Hyundai to proactively respond to the Voice of the Customer (VOC).
Applicable Vehicles: All 2021MY Sonata N Line (DN8)
Warranty claims must be timely, and must display a detailed and well-documented service visit with
cause and corrective action included.
Warrantable parts must be returned immediately (goal: 3 days or less from claim submission) in
compliance with the Mandatory Warranty Parts Procedure return policy. Quick returns result in
faster analysis and provide better opportunity to correct quality issues.
During LQMP, all warranty and core parts will be requested by HMA.
 Note: Batteries (see TSB: 19-EE-005H), airbags, and Haz-Mat parts have special shipping
and handling requirements.

NOTICE
1. Alignment equipment must be calibrated to correct alignment specifications located in the 21MY
Sonata N Line (DN8) vehicle shop manual. Hyundai requires a printout of both the before and after
specifications submitted with the warranty claim, along with the VIN, Repair Order Number, Model, and
Model Year.
2. Hyundai does NOT recommend the use of “quick-check” equipment during PDI. Use of this equipment
may lead to unnecessary vehicle repairs. The PDI requires an actual test drive (3 miles minimum, 10+
minutes). Only perform an alignment if a pull/drift condition is identified during the test drive.
3. If MIL illumination is observed prior to or during the PDI process, connect the PDI tool to the vehicle
and record all stored DTCs. Then use the GDS tool for further diagnostics.
PDI: Conducted immediately upon
vehicle arrival
