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, KDS screenshots will allow the capture of relevant parameters. Note that a Web Based KDS IUMPR Data Collection procedure is outlined.

Parking Distance Warning (PDW) alerts and repairs involving ultrasonic sensors. The PDW system alerts the driver while parking, by calculating distance based on the difference in signal transmission and reception times between the vehicle (ultrasonic sensor) and an object. The membrane film of the ultrasonic sensor is used for object detention and can be damaged by stone chips or foreign substances while driving. Damage to the cover of the ultrasonic sensor can also lead to damage to the internal circuit. As a result of this external damage, the PDW system may not receive the proper signal from the ultrasonic sensor. In some cases, the system may cause a false alarm, no alert, or phantom warnings by a Warning Lamp to be displayed on the cluster. The ultrasonic sensor membrane film should be always inspected for external damage and if any part replacement should be treated as a general repair, not as a warranty claim repair for this concern. (Please note that this Pitstop only applies to models/trims that are equipped with the ultrasonic sensors.)

regarding a 12V battery parasitic draw concern on certain 2024MY Carnival (KA4) vehicles produced from August 28, 2023 through September 7, 2023. In these vehicles, the battery may discharge slowly over time while the vehicle is parked, potentially resulting in a no-start condition due to the power seat module (PSM) / integrated memory seat (IMS) unit, which was assembled with an incorrect internal ceramic capacitor by the supplier.

the Data Connectivity Unit (DCU) in Kia vehicles equipped with Connected Car Navigation Cockpit (ccNC) and ccNC Lite head units, as well as a diagnostic aid when diagnosing Kia Connect concerns. When diagnosing non-operational Kia Connect concerns, under no circumstance should the DCU be swapped with a known good DCU from another vehicle. Doing so may result in inoperative Kia Connect services on either vehicle and may require the replacement of the known good DCU. If a DCU needs to be replaced, the recommendation is to always order a replacement unit (with the correct P/N) to ensure proper Kia Connect services operations using the newly installed/replaced DCU.

provides information to install new 2nd -row seat rail covers on all 2022-2024MY, and certain 2025MY Carnival (KA4) vehicles manufactured from January 4, 2021 through March 31, 2025. The subject vehicles are equipped with seat rails on the interior floor of the passenger compartment which allow for the adjustment of the 2nd -row seats. Under certain operating conditions in high temperature environments, the 2nd -row seat rails may become warm or hot to the touch. A hot seat rail can result in discomfort if an occupant touches the seat rail with their bare skin. This campaign is to install covers on the 2nd -row seat rails that reduce the surface temperature of the rails and improve the vehicle occupants experience.
