File Under:Circulate To: X General Manager X Service Advisors X Technicians X Service Manager X Parts Manager X Body Shop Manager X Fleet Repair Page 2 of 5 SUBJECT: SERVICE ACTION: SUB FRAME REPLACEMENT (SA323) NOTICE VINs that start with KNA are designated Forte (YD) and produced in South Korea. VINs that start with 3KP are designated Forte (YDm) and produced in Mexico. Replacement Procedure: 1. Replace the sub frame by referring to the “Suspension System → Front Suspension System → Sub Frame → Repair procedures” chapter in the applicable Shop Manual on KGIS then proceed to the Cavity Wax Application Procedure below. A Cavity Wax Procedure: WARNING Do not eat, drink or smoke while using this product. Keep away from heat, sparks, open flames, hot surfaces and other ignition sources. Avoid breathing mist, vapors, spray. Wash thoroughly after handling. Wear protective gloves, protective clothing, eye protection, face protection. Use with adequate ventilation. Respiratory: Level of exposure needs to be determined. If required, use a particulate filter, a NIOSH-approved air purifying respirator with organic vapor cartridge or a supplied air respirator. Filters should be replaced when breathing becomes labored. Cartridges should be replaced when odors pass through. Refer to MSD sheet (Links: Cavity Wax, Undercoating) for additional information and important warnings. All warnings provided by the MSD sheet are hereby incorporated by reference. NOTICE To prevent excessive vaporization of the cavity wax, use an inline air pressure regulator and adjust the pressure to the wax gun to 70-90 PSI max. (Labels on older cavity wax bottles may still call for 90-120 PSI; disregard and adjust pressure to 70-90 PSI max). TSB: SA323 (Rev 2) Forte (YD, YDm) January 2018 Page 3 of 5 SUBJECT: SERVICE ACTION: SUB FRAME REPLACEMENT (SA323) NOTICE • This procedure should ONLY be performed in temperatures above 32°F (0°C). Ensure that all surfaces are completely dry and free of moisture before applying cavity wax or undercoating. • Using expired product may result in a poor spray pattern and/or insufficient cavity wax application. Discard any such product (following all applicable local/state/federal regulations). An expiration date has been added to the cavity wax so that any expired wax can be easily identified and discarded. The undercoating has a manufacturing date code printed on the bottom of the can. Undercoating should be discarded two years after the manufacturing date. In case of questions, please contact the Kia Chemical Program through https://www.kdealer.com. 1. Using Quick Disconnect fittings suitable for the dealer’s air supply system, install the inline pressure regulator to a conveniently located wall air outlet and adjust the pressure to 70-90 PSI. Connect the air hose to the regulator, and connect the other end of the hose to the Kia Injection Gun (06700 10100), used to apply the cavity wax. 2. The injection gun nozzle should be inserted into the service holes in the sub frame and rotated so that there is even coating inside. NOTICE Avoid removing the nozzle from service holes during application to prevent cavity wax from contaminating surrounding areas. NOTICE Ensure all interior surfaces of the sub frame are coated completely during application. 2. Perform a front alignment by referring to “Front Suspension System → Suspension Alignment” as indicated in step 14 of the sub frame replacement procedure on KGIS.
