Product Improvement Campaign
Kia Motors America, Inc. is conducting a software update on 2010-2011 MY Kia Forte and Forte Koup vehicles equipped with 2.4-liter MPI engines to protect the engine from excessive connecting rod bearing damage.
The update will be done free of charge and will only involve the addition of newly developed computer software for the Engine Control Unit (ECU).
What Will Kia Do?
Kia will perform a software update to the ECU in your vehicle and warrant any engine long block assembly repairs needed due to connecting rod bearing damage for 15 years/150,000 miles starting from the first date of service, whichever occurs first.
What Should You Do?
Please contact your Kia dealership immediately to have the KSDS software installed on your vehicle and to take advantage of this extended warranty on your engine should your engine suffer damage due to excessive connecting rod bearing wear in the future.
Continue to follow the maintenance schedule outlined in Section 7 (Maintenance) of your vehicle’s Owner’s Manual.
