# Service bulletin TSBTRA067

A bulletin is a manufacturer's communication to its dealers, as NHTSA indexes it. The summary is NHTSA's. The document is the manufacturer's: read it at NHTSA. A bulletin is not a recall, and listing a model year does not mean every vehicle of it is concerned.

- [TSB\_TRA096](/bulletins/10200512.md), 2021-08-25, Service bulletin: POWER TRAIN. TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN: 8AT \(A8LR1\-SBW\) SOLENOID VALVE REPLACEMENT AND TCU LOGIC IMPROVEMENT \- This bulletin provides the procedure to replace two \(2\) solenoid valves \(35R and 4\&OD\) and improve the gear shift logic of the Transmission Control Unit \(TCU\) on some 2015\-2016MY K900 \(KH\) vehicles, equipped with Tau 5.0L engine and 8\-speed automatic transmission w/Shift\-By\-Wire \(A8LR1\-SBW\), which may exhibit symptoms of abnormal shift shock during an upshift \(2nd\-\-\>3rd, 3rd\-\-\>4th, 4th\-\-\>5th\). This condition occurs on vehicles with mileage over 12,000 miles and may be due to possible premature wear of the solenoid valve. To correct this concern, replace the 35R and 4\&O/D solenoid valves with added “H” ventilation port, perform TCU relearn, and, if applicable, apply the improved logic to the Transmission system using the KDS ECU Upgrade function as described in this bulletin.
- [TSB\_TRA083](/bulletins/10185033.md), 2021-01-06, Service bulletin: STEERING; POWER TRAIN; EQUIPMENT. TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN: 7\-SPEED DCT JUDDER INSPECTION AND DUAL CLUTCH ASSEMBLY REPLACEMENT \- This bulletin provides the procedure to replace Dual Clutch Assembly and upgrade the TCU on some 2016\-2020MY Kia vehicles listed on the table below, equipped with the 7 Speed Dual Clutch Transmission \(DCT\), which might exhibit clutch judder when accelerating from a stop. If the vehicle body vibrates without the steering wheel shuddering when performing creep driving test \(driving the vehicle up to 3mph\), the vehicle is exhibiting clutch judder. The creep test can be conducted by driving at a speed slower than 5 mph after releasing the brake.
