GROUP MODEL Service Campaign Multiple Models (see below) DATE December 2016 NUMBER SC141 (Rev 1, 02/28/2017) VOLUNTARY SERVICE CAMPAIGN SUBJECT: APPLICATION OF ADDITIONAL ANTI-CORROSION MATERIAL (SC141) NOTICE This bulletin has been revised to include additional information. New/revised sections of this bulletin are indicated by a black bar in the margin area. To improve customer satisfaction, Kia is launching this service campaign to apply additional anti-corrosion material to the underbody components of certain 2011-2014MY Sorento, 20112014MY Optima and Optima Hybrid, 2011-2014MY Sportage, and 2010-2013MY Forte and Forte Koup vehicles originally sold or currently registered in one of the 28 states where heavy amounts of road salt are used. The 28 states where heavy amounts of road salt are used are: AK, CT, DC, DE, IA, IL, IN, KS, KY, MA, MD, ME, MI, MN, MO, ND, NE, NH, NJ, NY, OH, PA, RI, SD, UT, VT, WI and WV. Kia believes that such additional protection can be helpful, especially in very high mileage situations. Please remind all customers of the instructions in their Owner’s Manual, as shown below, to regularly have the underbody of their vehicles washed when road salt is being used in their area. “Underbody maintenance” “Corrosive materials used for ice and snow removal and dust control may collect on the underbody. If these materials are not removed, accelerated rusting can occur on underbody parts such as the fuel lines, frame, floor pan and exhaust system, even though they have been treated with rust protection. Thoroughly flush the vehicle underbody and wheel openings with lukewarm or cold water once a month, after off-road driving and at the end of each winter. Pay special attention to these areas because it is difficult to see all the mud and dirt. It will do more harm than good to wet down the road grime without removing it. The lower edges of doors, rocker panels, and frame members have drain holes that should not be allowed to clog with dirt; trapped water in these areas can cause rusting.” NOTICE Dealers that may not be able to have these repairs performed in a properly ventilated area have the option to sublet (with certain restrictions). Refer to Appendix 1 and 1A on pages 19 and 20 of this bulletin. File Under:Circulate To: X General Manager X Service Advisors X Technicians X Service Manager X Parts Manager X Body Shop Manager Fleet Repair Page 2 of 22 SUBJECT: APPLICATION OF ADDITIONAL ANTI-CORROSION MATERIAL (SC141) NOTICE To assure complete customer satisfaction, always remember to refer to WebDCS Warranty Coverage (validation) Inquiry Screen (Service → Warranty Coverage → Warranty Coverage Inquiry) for a list of any additional campaigns that may need to be performed on the vehicle before returning it to the customer. NOTICE IMPORTANT For Dealers and Customers Not Immediately affected By This Campaign. This campaign is primarily being conducted regarding owners whose vehicles in the affected VIN range are owned and maintained in states where significant amounts of road salt are applied. However, the objective of this campaign is to improve customer satisfaction by applying additional anti-corrosion protection, regardless of their current location. As a result, additional customer vehicles not currently listed may need to be inspected and/or repaired as a result of this campaign. Possible situations and dealer responses include: (1) A customer who has not received an Owner Notification under this campaign and now resides in a salt belt state. Advise KMA and promptly conduct the campaign repair. (2) During normal maintenance or repairs for a vehicle located outside of the salt belt states, the dealer identifies that a vehicle has corrosion damage which appears to warrant a campaign repair. Contact the District Parts and Service Manager for approval before conducting the campaign repair. (3) A customer currently living outside a salt belt state alleges a potential corrosion condition or simply requests a repair or an inspection. Promptly conduct an inspection at no charge to the customer. If the dealer identifies that the vehicle has corrosion damage which appears to warrant a campaign repair, contact the District Parts and Service Manager for approval before conducting the campaign repair.

TSB: SC141 (Rev 1) Multiple Models December 2016 Page 19 of 22 SUBJECT: APPLICATION OF ADDITIONAL ANTI-CORROSION MATERIAL (SC141) Appendix 1 Dealer/Sublet Option for Wax Application 1. Dealerships should perform this repair on all customer vehicles in a properly equipped shop (properly ventilated and with the proper safety equipment on hand). 2. If proper ventilation is not possible or practical, limit the number of SC141 jobs scheduled simultaneously or on the same day, to reduce excessive and/or prolonged odor/vapor concerns. 3. If your dealership is not properly equipped to perform this campaign (properly ventilated or do not have the proper safety equipment), dealers may sublet work to a 3 rd party (qualified collision/body repair shop) that meets the requirements and is equipped to perform this campaign. Guidelines for Subletting to a 3rd Party Dealers are NOT to refer a customer to the 3rd party location for work. Customers should check in their vehicle and collect it at the Kia dealer’s service facility. It is the dealership’s responsibility to ensure that Kia dealer personnel deliver and pick up the vehicle to/from the 3rd party facility. Dealerships are to provide the 3rd party the appropriate Kia document (TSB) and Kia approved materials to complete the campaign (wax gun, pressure regulator if required, wax, undercoating, video camera) and must ensure the 3rd party fully understands the TSB procedure. Dealerships must perform a multipoint inspection and work quality inspection once the vehicle returns from the 3rd party, and complete the 3rd Party Sublet Compliance form (Appendix 1A). The dealership will be reimbursed at the same level as if the job was completed internally. The claim submission in Web DCS will be the same as if the work was performed at the dealership. Refer to SPPM section 10.6 for full sublet reimbursement details. Dealerships MUST keep a record of work performed. Please ensure the sublet invoice is retained with the RO records and that the document is in compliance with SPPM section 10.6.
