Bulletin Summary

Voluntary Emissions Service Campaign (SC189) - Dealer Parts and Service Manager Memo - Kia Motors America, Inc. is conducting a Voluntary Emissions Service Campaign to install an Auxiliary Canister Kit to improve evaporative system performance on certain 2011-2015 MY Kia Optima vehicles equipped with the 2.4-liter engine manufactured from August 12, 2010 through July 23, 2015. Kia has become aware of some 2011-2015 Optima vehicles that may have been produced with evaporative canisters that can cause the vehicle to release air pollutants, which exceed Federal and California emissions standards.

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.
