VEHICLE EMISSION CONTROL INFORMATION (VECI)
LABEL REPLACEMENT (SC222)
This bulletin provides information to replace the Vehicle Emission Control Information (VECI) label on some
2020MY Sportage (QL) vehicles with 2.0L T-GDI engines produced from December 19, 2018 through May 13,
2020. An incorrect VECI label was installed during production of these vehicles. The VECI label is extremely
important when performing maintenance, emissions inspection, or ordering engine and engine management
related parts. It also contains the code that tells a testing facility which test to perform to ensure the vehicle is
tested to the correct emission standard. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and California Air
Resources Board consider the under hood VECI label an integral part of state emission testing. If the VECI
label is incorrect, the vehicle may fail the emission testing, even if it meets applicable emissions standards.
Follow the procedure outlined in this publication to affix the correct VECI label. Before conducting the
procedure, verify that the vehicle is included in the list of affected VINs.
