Bulletin Summary

WARRANTY EXTENSION: DEALER PRINCIPAL MEMO - Kia Motors America, Inc. is extending the warranty coverage for the door latches, for the original or subsequent owners of certain 2017 MY Sportage vehicles, from 5-years/60,000-miles to 10-years/unlimited-miles starting from the date the vehicle was first put into service. Kia has determined that, over time and extended use, the door latches may not function properly when the outside handle is pulled. If the door latch is not functioning properly, the door may not open. The door(s) can be opened by pulling any inside handle, provided the rear door child safety locks are not engaged.

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.
