Service bulletin PS753

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.

NHTSA's summary

PITSTOP: AIR CONDITIONER AUTO-DRY WHILE VEHICLE IS OFF - This Pitstop provides information regarding the new feature Air Conditioner Auto-Dry on some 2022-2024MY EV6 (CV), 2024MY Sportage (NQ5a), and 2024MY Niro EV (SG2 EV) vehicles. Some Kia owners may state that their air condition fans continue to run after the vehicle has been shut off. The Air Conditioner Auto-Dry feature will automatically run the Heating, Ventilation, and Air Condition (HVAC) fan to dry the inside of the air conditioner system to help prevent mold growth. Kia owners may be unaware of the Air Conditioner Auto-Dry feature.
