Summary

PRODUCT IMPROVEMENT CAMPAIGN: DEALER PRINCIPAL MEMO - This document is the announcement to the Dealer Principals that Kia is conducting a Product Improvement Campaign to install steel reinforcement plates on the second-row seat outer rails in certain 2022-2024 MY Kia Carnival vehicles equipped with sliding and removable second-row seats (excluding SX-Prestige equipped with the second-row lounge seats). This is an update following a notice that was issued to Kia dealers in August 2023. Kia is currently experiencing an unexpected parts supply issue which is expected to continue until the first week of October 2023. Since the remedy is not going to be available during this period, Kia is requesting that customers wait until after the first week of October before contacting an authorized Kia dealer to schedule a service appointment for this Product Improvement Campaign to be performed.

Owners of these vehicles have filed 10 complaints in the seats category.
