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.

TSBBOD1082017-02-02. Service bulletin. EQUIPMENT; SEATS:FRONT ASSEMBLY:HEAD RESTRAINT. TSB: SERVICE ACTION: FRONT SEAT HEADREST ELEVATOR MODULE REPLACEMENT (SA177) - THIS BULLETIN PROVIDES THE PROCEDURE TO REPLACE THE HEADREST ELEVATOR MODULE OF SOME K900 (KH) VEHICLES, PRODUCED FROM MARCH 20, 2014 THROUGH SEPTEMBER 19, 2014 AND EQUIPPED WITH MANUALLY ADJUSTABLE HEADRESTS, WHICH MAY EXHIBIT DIFFICULTIES WHEN ADJUSTING THE HEADREST HEIGHT. TO PREVENT AND/OR CORRECT THIS CONDITION, REPLACE THE HEADREST ELEVATOR MODULE WITH A NEW ONE BY FOLLOWING THE SERVICE PROCEDURE OUTLINED BELOW. KIA IS REQUESTING THE COMPLETION OF THIS SERVICE ACTION ON ALL AFFECTED VEHICLES, INCLUDING DEALER STOCK, PRIOR TO DELIVERY.
PS4002017-01-31. Service bulletin. VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL; ENGINE. PITSTOP: SMART PEDAL FEATURE - THE “SMART PEDAL” IS AN INTEGRAL PART OF THE ENGINE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM (EMS) FUNCTIONALITY WHICH MONITORS AND PREVENTS THE SIMULTANEOUS ACTIVATION OF ACCELERATOR AND BRAKE PEDALS. WHEN ENGAGED, THE FEATURE REDUCES ENGINE POWER TO IDLE. MOST CUSTOMERS WILL NEVER NOTICE THE SMART PEDAL FEATURE WHEN ACTIVE, HOWEVER, CUSTOMERS WHO TEND TO REST THEIR FOOT ON THE BRAKE PEDAL WHILE DRIVING MIGHT DESCRIBE A HESITATION OR DELAY SYMPTOM AND NOT REALIZE THAT THE EMS ELECTRONIC CONTROL MODULE IS INTERVENING, AS DESIGNED.
PS3602017-01-30. Service bulletin. VISIBILITY:SUN/MOON ROOF ASSEMBLY. PITSTOP: AIR INTAKE MODE CHANGES WHEN OPENING SUNROOF - WHEN ADDRESSING CUSTOMER COMPLAINTS REGARDING THE AIR INTAKE MODE SWITCHING FROM RECIRCULATION TO FRESH AIR MODE WITHOUT CUSTOMER INPUT; ON THE APPLICABLE VEHICLES IN THIS PITSTOP, THE HVAC LOGIC HAS BEEN MODIFIED TO SWITCH THE AIR INTAKE MODE TO FRESH AIR, AUTOMATICALLY, WHEN OPENING THE SUNROOF. THIS IS DONE TO PREVENT EXHAUST GASES FROM ENTERING THE CABIN WHEN THE SUNROOF IS OPEN. THIS CONDITION SHOULD BE CONSIDERED “NORMAL OPERATION” AND NOT A MALFUNCTION.
TSBCLI0252017-01-30. Service bulletin. ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING; EQUIPMENT:APPLIANCE:AIR CONDITIONER. TSB: A/C COMPRESSOR REPLACEMENT - THIS BULLETIN PROVIDES THE PROCEDURE FOR REPLACING THE A/C COMPRESSOR ON SOME 2015MY K900 (KH) VEHICLES, PRODUCED FROM JOB #1 THROUGH OCTOBER 13, 2014, WHICH MAY EXPERIENCE DIMINISHED COOLING PERFORMANCE OR AN INOPERATIVE A/C SYSTEM. TECHNICIANS CAN VALIDATE THIS CONDITION BY OPERATING THE A/C SYSTEM AND BY CHECKING SYSTEM LINE PRESSURE. IF SYSTEM PRESSURES (HIGH/LOW) ARE EQUAL; CHECK FOR COMPRESSOR SEIZURE OR FOR A CRACKED COMPRESSOR CASING (COMPLETE LOSS OF REFRIGERANT). TO CORRECT THIS CONCERN, REPLACE THE A/C COMPRESSOR, INCLUDING REQUIRED ASSOCIATED PARTS PER THE TABLE ON PAGE 3, BY REFERRING TO THE APPLICABLE WORKSHOP MANUAL ON KGIS.
TSBELE0892017-01-27. Service bulletin. ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:SOFTWARE; EQUIPMENT:ELECTRICAL:NAVIGATIONAL SYSTEM(GLOBAL POSITIONING SYSTEM). TSB: NAVIGATION HEAD UNIT SD CARD REPLACEMENT - THIS BULLETIN DESCRIBES THE SD CARD EXCHANGE/REPLACEMENT PROCEDURE RELATED TO ERROR MESSAGES THAT MAY BE DISPLAYED ON THE NAVIGATION SCREEN WHEN THE INCORRECT SD CARD IS INSERTED. NOTE: ONLY NEW MODELS (DURING PDI INSPECTION OR AT THE POINT OF PURCHASE) OR COMPATIBILITY MISMATCHES THAT OCCUR AFTER HEAD UNIT REPLACEMENT WILL BE CONSIDERED FOR THIS PROGRAM.
TSBENG1472017-01-26. Service bulletin. ENGINE; ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:SOFTWARE. TSB: DATA COLLECTION: EXTRACT CALIFORNIA EMISSIONS DATA FROM ECU (DC1501) - THIS BULLETIN PROVIDES INFORMATION RELATED TO EXTRACTING “IN USE PERFORMANCE TRACKING” EMISSIONS DATA FROM THE ENGINE CONTROL UNIT (ECU) OF CERTAIN VEHICLES SOLD IN CALIFORNIA. THE CALIFORNIA AIR RESOURCES BOARD (CARB) REQUIRES THE EMISSIONS DATA FROM VEHICLES WITH A MINIMUM OF 3,000 ACCUMULATED MILES WITHOUT REPROGRAMMING OR RESETTING. TO FACILITATE COLLECTION OF THIS DATA AT THE DEALER LEVEL, GDS/KDS SCREENSHOTS WILL ALLOW THE CAPTURE OF RELEVANT PARAMETERS.
TSBELE1032017-01-24. Service bulletin. ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:STARTER ASSEMBLY; ELECTRICAL SYSTEM. SERVICE ACTION: START STOP BUTTON (SSB) INSPECTION AND REPLACEMENT (SA228) - THIS BULLETIN PROVIDES THE PROCEDURE TO INSPECT THE START BUTTON SWITCH CAP AND REPLACE THE START BUTTON SWITCH ASSEMBLY, IF NECESSARY, ON CERTAIN 2015 MY K900 (KH) VEHICLES, PRODUCED FROM DECEMBER 18, 2013 THROUGH MAY 12, 2014. THE SSB IN CERTAIN VEHICLES MAY CAUSE DIFFICULTY STARTING AND/OR SHUTTING OFF THE VEHICLE DUE TO A BROKEN START BUTTON SWITCH CAP.
TSBSC1302017-01-24. Service bulletin. EXTERIOR LIGHTING:HEADLIGHTS. MULTI-FUNCTION SWITCH REPLACEMENT (SC130) - THIS BULLETIN PROVIDES THE PROCEDURE TO REPLACE THE MULTI-FUNCTION SWITCH (SEE BELOW) IN CERTAIN 2015~2016MY K900 (KH) LUXURY V8 VEHICLES,EQUIPPED WITH LED HEADLIGHTS, AND PRODUCED FROM DECEMBER 18, 2013 THROUGH JANUARY 11, 2016. USE OF THE HEADLIGHTS IN AUTO MODE OVER TIME MAY RESULT IN INCREASED ELECTRICAL RESISTANCE OF THE CONTACT POINTS, WHICH IN TURN MAY AFFECT THE OPERATION OF THE ELECTRONIC CONTROL UNIT LOCATED INSIDE THE MULTI-FUNCTION SWITCH. IF THIS OCCURS, THE HEADLIGHTS MAY FLICKER AND/OR INTERMITTENTLY TURN OFF WHILE DRIVING. TO CORRECT THIS CONDITION, FOLLOW THE PROCEDURE OUTLINED IN THIS BULLETIN. BEFORE CONDUCTING THE PROCEDURE, VERIFY THE VEHICLE IS INCLUDED IN THE LIST OF AFFECTED VINS.
TSBELE0912017-01-23. Service bulletin. ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:SOFTWARE; ELECTRICAL SYSTEM. TSB: IDENTIFYING HEAD UNIT SOFTWARE VERSION FOR DIRECT EXCHANGE - THIS BULLETIN PROVIDES THE PROCEDURE ON HOW TO IDENTIFY AND RECORD THE HEAD UNIT SOFTWARE LEVEL ON VARIOUS HEAD UNIT PLATFORMS AND GENERATIONS.

TSBFUE0292017-01-18. Service bulletin. ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:SOFTWARE; ENGINE. SERVICE ACTION - REAR OXYGEN (02) SENSOR LOGIC IMPROVEMENT (SA199) - THIS BULLETIN PROVIDES INFORMATION RELATED TO THE ECM SOFTWARE UPGRADE OF SOME 2015MY K900 (KH) VEHICLES, PRODUCED FROM DECEMBER 13, 2013 THROUGH DECEMBER 15, 2014, TO IMPROVE REAR OXYGEN (02) SENSOR LOGIC.
TSBSST0412017-01-18. Service bulletin. ELECTRICAL SYSTEM; ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:SOFTWARE. TSB: KDS - AUDIO UPDATE MODULE (AUM) - THE GDS AUDIO UPDATE MODULE (AUM) WAS INTRODUCED IN FOURTH QUARTER OF 2013. THIS SPECIAL SERVICE TOOL (SST) WAS DEVELOPED TO IMPROVE THE EFFICIENCY AND EFFECTIVENESS OF UPDATING 2010MY, AND LATER, KIA AUDIO HEAD UNITS USING A GDS, AND NOW, THE SAME FUNCTIONALITY IS AVAILABLE ON KDS. SOME TECHNICIANS MAY NOT BE AWARE OF THE BENEFITS THE AUM TOOL HAS TO OFFER. THE AUM ELIMINATES THE NEED FOR MULTIPLE USB FLASH DRIVES FOR SPECIFIC VEHICLE MODELS AND APPLICATIONS WHICH, IF MISAPPLIED, MAY RESULT IN AN IMPROPER AUDIO SYSTEM SOFTWARE UPDATE AND/OR LOCKED UP HEAD UNIT. ADDITIONALLY, FIELD REPORTS HAVE INDICATED THAT USB DRIVES FOR AUDIO UPDATES ARE EASILY LOST OR MISPLACED.
PS299R12017-01-17. Service bulletin. VISIBILITY:WINDSHIELD WIPER/WASHER; EQUIPMENT. CORRECT PROCEDURE FOR RAISING WINDSHIELD WIPERS - THIS ARTICLE OUTLINES THE PROCEDURE TO BE USED TO RAISE THE WIPER ARMS TO THE FULLY VERTICAL POSITION.
PS4302017-01-13. Service bulletin. POWER TRAIN. 8-SPEED TRANSMISSION REPLACEMENT REQUIREMENTS - ON K900 (KH) VEHICLES, THE 8-SPEED TRANSMISSION (A8TR1) HAS PRECISE DIRECT SOLENOID CONTROL FOR THE CLUTCH AND BRAKE SYSTEM INSIDE THE TRANSMISSION. DUE TO HYDRAULIC PRESSURE VARIANCE AT THE TIME OF TRANSMISSION AND SOLENOID PRODUCTION, SHOCK OR SHIFT DELAY MAY OCCUR DURING GEAR SHIFT AFTER REPLACEMENT. IN RESPONSE TO THIS PRESSURE VARIANCE, THE HYDRAULIC PRESSURE IS RECORDED IN A BAR CODE FORMAT AND AFFIXED IN THE FORM OF TWO LABELS (A) ON THE LEFT SIDE OF THE TRANSMISSION. WHENEVER THE TCM AND/OR 8-SPEED TRANSMISSION IS REPLACED, THE BAR CODE VALUE MUST BE ENTERED (B) INTO GDS/KDS BY FOLLOWING THE PROCEDURE OUTLINED ON KGIS.
