Safety Recall Campaign: Sportage Cooling Fan Blade
Replacement (SC070)
- Description
This bulletin provides information related to a safety recall campaign to replace the Cooling Fan Blade. 2002MY Sportage vehicles produced from
5/15/2001~10/2/2002 may experience fan blade cracking due to the heating and cooling of the plastic materials used for the fan blade. During normal
engine operation the centrifugal force generated by the fan rotation can cause cracks and fan blade separation from the hub. Kia is replacing the fan blade
with a version manufactured with improved material characteristics.
*NOTICE
There is no charge to the vehicle owner for this repair. Under applicable law, you may not sell or otherwise deliver any affected 2002MY Sportage
until it has been repaired pursuant to the procedures set forth in this bulletin.
