Summary
TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN: CUSTOMER SATISFACTION: THEFT DETERRENT IGNITION CYLINDER PROTECTOR AND DECAL INSTALLATION (CS2312) - This bulletin has been revised to include additional information. New/revised sections of this bulletin are indicated by a black bar in the margin area. This bulletin provides information to install a Theft Deterrent Ignition Cylinder Protector on certain 2010-2022MY Kia
vehicles outlined on page 20, which may not have been equipped with an immobilizer and whose Integrated Body Control Unit (IBU) / Body Control Module (BCM) did receive the Anti-Theft Software Logic upgrade under CS2301/02/03/04/05/06/07/08/09 TSBs. In an effort to help prevent thefts of Kia vehicles, a protective cover will be permanently affixed to the ignition cylinder. This Theft Deterrent Ignition Cylinder Protector prevents the removal of the key lock cylinder thereby preventing access to the ignition tumbler.

Other things to consider:
Kia Theft Deterrent Ignition Cylinder Protector & Decal Installation Waiver and Acknowledgement:
Be sure to get customer’s approval to install the ’Kia Theft Deterrent Ignition Cylinder Protector’. Dealers must
have the customer sign the ‘Kia Theft Deterrent Ignition Cylinder Protector & Decal Installation Waiver and
Acknowledgement’ and attach the signed copy to the claim.
Vehicles equipped with ‘aftermarket’ window tint:
Be sure to get the customer’s approval to install the ‘Kia Anti-Theft Protection’ decals if the vehicle has
aftermarket window tint installed as they will adhere to the tint film surface and not the door glass surface,
and alert customer that the ‘Kia Anti-Theft Protection’ decals may not be visible through the tint film from
outside the vehicle.
For ‘California’ state vehicles only:
The Proposition 65 decal may still be present on the inner front door glass. Be sure to get the customer’s
approval to remove this decal from the inner door glass before installing the ‘Kia Anti-Theft Protection’ decals.
