Beware Sorento Rear Axle Upper Brackets-Corrosion Treatment

[kiaboy]

Please note Kia have issued a Service Campaign to have the Rear Axle Upper Brackets inspected for thickness of metal and a zinc and wax coating treatment applied as well. As this is not a "Recall" Kia will not be contacting owners to have this work carried out, but will be carried out when the owner has the next service. If you do not have your car serviced by a Kia dealer it will not be carried out, so it will be up to you to instigate the booking into a dealer for the inspection/treatment to be carried out.

I do not see how I can attached the PDF file containing the campaign sheet.

If anyone can advise or let me have your email address I can then forward it to you.

Paul

Hi Clive and Kia Boy

See this link from UKSorento site

It affects the 2003 -2009 model range like mine!! I'll be checking her this weekend as the MOT is due next week.

I too am having trouble pasting the Adobe Dealer Bulletin to this post
It's know as TSB No KCE 12-31-P010-BL
I suggest anyone with a 2003 - 2009 Sorento makes a booking with their Kia Dealer for the work to be done.
Meanwhile I will ask Parksy if he can help pasting the bulletin.

Try the link below for the official Kia 10 page Dealer Bulletin
