2011 - 2016 Kia Sportage Recalls (SL Body Style)

 

A recall is a safety related item that requires immediate action on the part of the owner and dealership. 

A service campaign is a notification about a specific technical issue that is not safety related but requires action on the part of the owner and dealership. Recalls and service campaigns have no expiration date, meaning they can be completed on any date. A service action is a catalogue of information for a service department to assist dealers in repairs. Service actions have an expiration date, meaning they must be preformed within a certain time frame.
