VOLUNTARY SERVICE CAMPAIGN
December 19, 2025
Dear Kia
Niro, Niro Plug-in Hybrid
(PHEV), and Niro EV Vehicle Owner:
Kia
America, Inc. is conducting a Voluntary Service Campaign on certain 2025 MY Niro, Niro Plug-in Hybrid
, and Niro EV
vehicles to inspect and, if necessary, recover and charge the air conditioner refrigerant. Our records indicate that you own or
lease one of the potentially affected vehicles.
Why is Kia
Conducting This Service Campaign?
The Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning (HVAC) system uses cooling and heating to help maintain a pleasant
environment inside the vehicle. Your vehicle may have been produced with the incorrect amount of refrigerant during the inline manufacturing process. As a result, the HVAC system may provide insufficient cooling in the cabin when you are
operating your vehicle.
What Will Kia
Do?
Kia
dealers will inspect and, if necessary, recover and charge the refrigerant to ensure proper cooling performance of the air
conditioner. This campaign will be performed free of charge at no cost to you.
What Should You Do?
•
Please contact your Kia
dealer to schedule a service appointment at your earliest convenience. The time required to
perform the campaign can vary depending on the dealer’s work schedule, so a service appointment is an important way
of minimizing your inconvenience. Please present this notice when you arrive at the Kia
dealer.
•
To find your nearest dealer, visit www.kia.com and click the “Find Dealer” button in the upper right corner (“Dealers” on a
mobile device).
You can also use the QR code below with your mobile device to access this information (see the bottom

Have You Changed Your Address Or Sold Your Kia
?

vehicle, or no longer own your vehicle, please complete the attached
prepaid “Change of Address/Ownership” card and mail it to us.
What If You Have Other Questions?
Should you have any questions regarding this Voluntary Service Campaign, or your dealer does not respond to your service
request in a timely manner, we suggest that you call Kia
’s Customer Care Center at 1-800-333-4542 (Monday through Friday,
