 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.
This bulletin provides information to apply additional anti-corrosion material to the underbody components on
certain 2012-2017MY Rio (UB) and 2017-2018MY Forte (YD/YDm) vehicles produced within the date ranges
shown below and 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.

Corrosion can occur due to a combination of environmental conditions and lack of proper underbody
maintenance, especially on vehicles in states where heavy amounts of road salt are used if the materials used
for ice/snow removal are not regularly flushed from the underbody of the vehicle. Follow the procedure outlined
in this publication to apply a cavity wax and undercoating spray in the indicated locations. Before conducting
the procedure, verify that the vehicle is included in the list of affected VINs.
 NOTICE
To assure complete customer satisfaction, always remember to refer to KDealer+ 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.

APPLICATION OF ADDITIONAL ANTI-CORROSION MATERIAL (SC264)
SUBJECT:
Note: Please remind all customers of the instructions in their Owner’s Manual (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.”
Anti-Corrosion Material Application:
 NOTICE
The procedure illustrated below is broken down into Preparation, Cleaning, Cavity Wax Application,
and Undercoat Application for the areas listed below. Images shown in the procedure are for
reference only purposes and will vary by model.
 NOTICE
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 Kia America 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.

WARNING
Do not eat, drink, or smoke while using these products. 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 sheets (Links: Cavity Wax,
Undercoating) for additional information and important warnings. All warnings provided by the
MSD sheet are hereby incorporated by reference.
Preparation:
If vehicle undercarriage has significant road salt residue, an undercarriage carwash is recommended. After an
undercarriage wash, allow vehicle to dry or use compressed air. These procedures 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.

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. Refer to
Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) in your local dealer.
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 sheets (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).
 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.

1.
Using Quick Disconnect fittings suitable for the dealer’s air supply system, install the in-line 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.
2a.
Insert the wax injection gun nozzle deeply into all service holes.
2b.
Then slowly pull out the nozzle while spraying the cavity wax inside of the components shown below.
Note: Rotate the nozzle while spraying to achieve an even coating of wax inside.
