Dear Kia Soul Owner:
Kia Motors America, Inc. takes pride in providing you with high quality and dependable vehicles. In order to maintain
these standards, Kia is extending the New Vehicle Limited Warranty coverage, to all owners of the 2012-2013 MY
Soul, for the Motor Driven Power Steering (MDPS) flexible coupling from 5-years/60,000-miles to 10-years/unlimitedmiles, starting from the date of first service. The MDPS unit may experience noise when turning the steering left or
right, especially while the vehicle is stopped.
What Should You Do?
•
If you experience noise when turning the steering wheel, contact the nearest authorized Kia dealer to have
your vehicle diagnosed and repaired.
To find your nearest dealer, visit www.kia.com and click the “Find Dealer” button in the upper right corner

RETAIN THIS LETTER IN THE GLOVE COMPARTMENT OF YOUR KIA VEHICLE. Place this letter in your
vehicle’s glove compartment, preferably together with your vehicle’s other warranty information. When
seeking service, provide this letter to your servicing dealer. If you sell your vehicle, ensure that you include
this letter with the documents you provide to the buyer.
Warranty Extension Coverage:
•
If, at any time within the extended warranty period, you experience a noise when turning the steering wheel
left or right, especially while the vehicle is stopped, your authorized Kia dealership will diagnose the cause at
no cost to you.
•
If the diagnosis indicates the condition is caused by premature wear of the MDPS Flexible Coupling, Kia will
replace the MDPS flexible coupling in your vehicle at no cost to you.
•
This supplement to Kia’s New Vehicle Limited Warranty does not alter the limitations and exclusions contained
in that New Vehicle Limited Warranty including external damage to the MDPS Flexible Coupling.
