Panorama Sunroof & Sunshade Motor Replacement – 2012-2013 Kia Optima

2013-103

 

SUBJECT:

PANORAMA SUNROOF & SUNSHADE MOTOR REPLACEMENT

 

This bulletin provides the procedure to replace the panorama sunroof and sunshade motors on some 2012-2013MY Optima (QF) vehicles, produced from August 9, 2011 to August 14, 2013, which may exhibit a loss of the “one-touch” open/close feature of the sunshade and/or panorama roof. This condition may be attributed to the exposure of the ECU in each motor to static electricity, causing a loss of initialization memory. To correct this concern, install the new sunroof and sunshade motors by following the procedure outlined in this bulletin.

Refer to the table below to differentiate between the sunroof and sunshade motors.
