Kia has become aware that the subject vehicles may have been produced with an EGR valve assembly that was not manufactured to Kia’s specifications. Dealers will replace the EGR valve assembly with a new one.
What a TSB means. Technical service bulletins are repair guidance manufacturers send to dealers — they are not recalls, and repairs are not automatically free (warranty extensions are an exception worth checking). The full document is available via NHTSA’s vehicle lookup.
