Sorento Compressor Disc & Hub Replacement
(Climate Control - 011 - REVISED)
Description
This revised bulletin replaces information published on 7/19/2007, Climate Control 011. It readdresses some 2007 - 2008 Sorento (BL) that may exhibit
a knocking noise (mainly at idle) during A/C operation. A new redesigned A/C compressor Disc & Hub with better dampening characteristics can be
retrofitted to these vehicles A/C compressors to eliminate the concern. This new design Disc & Hub assembly can be applied to any 2007 - 2008 Sorento
(BL) manufactured before January 30, 2008 that exhibits this concern and hasn't had the current new redesigned Disc & Hub installed.
Please note that there are two (2) redesigned Disc & Hub assemblies, the first of which is no longer supplied. In some cases KMA has found that the first
redesign did not effectively address all customer concerns. The current redesigned Disc & Hub should be used in these cases, even if the first redesigned
Disc & Hub had been tried.
As of 7/17/2008, only the current redesigned Disc & Hub is being shipped from all Parts Distribution Centers. The part number has not changed between
the first and current redesigned Disc & Hub. To order the current redesign Disc & Hub, use P/N: 97644 4D900FFF.
