All the same you wouldn't expect it to need a re-gas after 15 months.
You can get this done for between £40 and £50 at places like ATS, or find an independent garage nearby with the right kit.
I'm surprised the Hyundai dealer didn't just do it as a goodwill gesture, but more worrying, I wouldn't expect a 10% loss of gas to affect the aircon's performance that much.
Any place which re-gases for you should also perform a leak test, so if you find it's the aircon compressor or the radiator which are faulty, these items would be covered under the Hyundai warranty.
I had my 2007 Mercedes A Class re-gassed by ATS last April after it stopped blowing cold, payed £39.99 I think. After a few days it was blowing ambient again. Took it to Merc dealer (who wanted £150 for a re-gas!) and they found a tiny hole in the compressor/radiator. Replaced and re-gassed free of charge under the Mercedes used car warranty.
So don't give up with Hyundai. As said above, no manufacturer would cover a re-gas as a warranty item, but try and find out why it has stopped blowing cold in such a short time.
