Kia dealers will install a new fuse with a different capacity, as an initial remedy, to mitigate fire risk. When the final remedy becomes available, Kia will send a follow-up notice to dealers and customers. The new fuse installation and the final remedy will be performed free of charge at no cost to the customer. Kia dealers have been advised not to sell the 4-pin tow hitch harnesses and to return any unsold harnesses to Kia America. The Technical Service Bulletin that provides vehicle inspection and repair procedures, affected VIN production range, and warranty claim information will be posted on the Kia Global Information System (KGIS) at www.kiatechinfo.com.
