TSB`s are Technical Service Bulletins issued by Hyundai to it`s Dealerships........these can be as innocuous as simply detailing a better way to carry out a service operation, or perhaps the issue of a software upgrade.
The first - generation Coupe was in production from `96 to late`99, so there are bound to be quite a lot of them.......& it is ridiculous to judge the quality of a car by the number issued (as if they were re-calls)!.
If you take your time & find an example with a full HYUNDAI service history (the cambelt should have been changed at 50K miles) with reasonable mileage (say no more than 12K per year) I`m sure you will be delighted with your purchase!.......especially if you ONLY let Hyundai work on it.
