Summary
VOLUNTARY EMISSIONS SERVICE CAMPAIGN: OWNER NOTIFICATION (SC285) - This document is the owner notification advising that Kia is conducting a Voluntary Emissions Service Campaign to replace the Vehicle Emission Control Information (VECI) Label on certain 2023 MY Kia Sportage vehicles.

The VECI label is extremely important when performing maintenance, emissions inspection, or ordering engine and engine management related parts.

Kia includes a replacement VECI label with this letter along with instructions for the installation of the replacement label.
