ATTENTION: ALL DEALER PARTS & SERVICE MANAGERS
Kia America, Inc. is conducting a Voluntary Emissions Service Campaign on certain 2021-2024 MY K5 vehicles equipped with 1.6L
Turbo Gas Direct Injection (GDI) engines manufactured from March 27, 2020 through October 17, 2023 to improve the logic in the
Electronic Control Module (ECM) to ensure compliance with emissions regulations. Also, the subject vehicles will be inspected and, if
necessary, the fuel tank and/or the Purge Control Solenoid Valve (PCSV) check valve will be replaced with a new one.
Kia has become aware that the subject vehicles may experience fuel tank swelling due to an issue with the PCSV check valve, which
results in pressurized air to flow into the fuel tank. This may cause an inability to fill the vehicle gas tank, illumination of Check
Engine Light, and/or vehicle running rough. These conditions may cause the vehicle to release air pollutants which exceed Federal
and California standards. These standards were established to protect the public health and welfare from the dangers of air
pollution.
Dealers will update the software programming of the ECM to improve the logic of the PCSV in the vehicle. Also, dealers will inspect
the vehicle and, if necessary, replace the fuel tank and/or the PCSV check valve with a new one. This campaign will be performed
free of charge at no cost to the customer.
Enclosed are samples of the Vehicle Emissions Recall Proof of Correction (“POC”) Card, Campaign Completion Label (“Label”),
and information on how to access the list of affected vehicles on WEBDCS. NOTE: The Proof of Correction Cards and Campaign
Completion Labels are for California and S177 State dealers use only and can be ordered through the PDC.
Also enclosed, you will find a copy of the owner notification letter and a Q&A Guide for campaign questions, both of which describe
the issue. The owner notification will be mailed on April 30, 2024.
Please start performing the repairs on any affected vehicles currently in your inventory prior to selling the vehicle to a retail
customer.
