SERVICE INFORMATION

NOTE: This bulletin has been revised to include additional information.

When replacing an inoperative cluster, follow the procedure detailed below to ensure compliance with all applicable federal and state regulations, shorten vehicle servicing time and prevent the possibility of claims being charged-back.

NOTE: On some models, mileage setting with a KDS is supported, which will prevent the requirement of sending the instrument cluster to a repair facility. Refer to TSB ELE106 .

The following procedure is taken from Section #7.15 of the Kia Service Policies and Procedures Manual.

"Kia Motors America, Inc. has developed a procedure that will allow the vehicle mileage to be preset on a replacement speedometer/odometer or I/P cluster.

If a speedometer fails within the Kia Basic Warranty period, Kia's policy is to recalibrate the new speedometer with the vehicle mileage at the time of failure replacement.

Many states now require that only preset speedometer/odometers be installed. The following explains the warranty claim procedure for recalibrating the odometer.

Many states have certified or approved repair facilities that are authorized to reset speedometer mileage. The dealer may use a state approved speedometer facility to reset Kia speedometer/odometer mileage for warranty repairs. In the event that an approved facility is not in your local area, the following companies handle resetting speedometer/odometer mileage for Kia and other OEM's."
