SUBJECT:

INSPECTION & REPLACEMENT/REPAIR (SA556)
This bulletin provides information to inspect, and if necessary, replace the Tire Mobility Kit (TMK) sealant can
or sealant can cap on certain 2023-2024MY Forte (BDm) vehicles produced from March 01, 2023 through

ND, NE, NH, NY, OH, SD, UT, VT, WA, WI, and WY. Lower ambient temperatures can create a vacuum effect
inside the TMK sealant can, causing the sealant can cap to open, resulting in the tire sealant leaking. Follow
the procedure outlined in this publication to inspect, and if necessary, replace the sealant can or sealant can
cap on the applicable vehicle. Before conducting the procedure, verify that the vehicle is included in the list of
affected VINs.
