Hyundai Santa Fe · 2013–2016
The 2.0L Theta II turbo (G4KH) in the Santa Fe Sport uses a banjo-bolted oil feed hose to the turbocharger center section. The hose assembly and its sealing washers leak, and heat-soak after shutdown cokes the oil inside the small-diameter feed line, restricting flow to the turbo bearing. Owners report oil pooling on the turbo housing and burning smell first, then turbo shaft-bearing noise (whine/whistle), smoke, and loss of boost. Hyundai issued service campaign/TSB 16-01-071 in December 2016 covering 2013-2016 Santa Fe Sport 2.0T for a leaking turbo oil feed hose assembly. Because the same engine is a known oil consumer, a low crankcase level compounds the starvation.
Common Symptoms
- Oil leak and burning smell at the turbocharger / right side of engine
- Whistling or whining that rises with boost
- Blue smoke from exhaust under acceleration
- Loss of boost and reduced power
- Low oil level between changes
How to Fix
Inspect the turbo oil feed hose, banjo bolts and gaskets for wetness. Replace the feed hose assembly with the updated part plus new eye bolts and gaskets (covered by campaign 16-01-071 on eligible vehicles). If the turbo already whines, has shaft play or smokes, the turbocharger must be replaced along with the feed line — reusing a coked line kills the new turbo. Verify the oil return line is clear, check oil consumption, and keep to short oil intervals with a full-synthetic that resists coking. Allow a brief idle-down after hard driving.

Frequently asked questions
What does P2562 mean?
P2562 stands for "Turbocharger Boost Control Position Sensor 'A' Circuit." A generic circuit fault for the turbocharger boost control (wastegate/VGT vane) position sensor 'A'. The PCM uses this sensor to confirm the boost-control actuator position; this code sets when the sensor signal is faulty (open/short/no signal).
What are the most common causes of P2562?
The most common causes of P2562 are: Faulty turbo boost control position sensor, Open or shorted sensor wiring, Corroded/damaged connector at the turbo, Sticking/binding VGT vanes or wastegate actuator, Loss of reference voltage or ground. The specific cause varies by vehicle.
How much does it cost to fix P2562?
Repair costs for P2562 range from $250 to $2,400, depending on the vehicle and root cause.
