Kia has become aware that certain 2014-2016 MY Forte vehicles may have engine calibrations that were not optimized for emissions standards under certain specific conditions.

These standards were established to protect your health and welfare from the dangers of air pollution.
About Technical Service Bulletins
A Technical Service Bulletin (TSB) is a document issued by a vehicle manufacturer to its dealers, describing a known issue with a specific vehicle or set of vehicles and the recommended procedure to fix it. Unlike recalls, TSBs are not mandatory and are typically only performed if an owner reports the related issue. However, TSBs can be an indicator of common problems with a vehicle.
