SUBJECT:
Safety Recall: Engine Wire Harness C123/C124 Connectors
This bulletin provides information related to a recall on 1997-1999 Sportage models for a potential stalling condition. Some 1997, 1998, and 1999
Sportage models may have poor pin terminal contact in engine/injector harness C123/C124 connectors. Poor pin terminal contact in these connectors
could result in interrupted sensor/component signals to and from the ECM. If poor pin terminal contact occurs, the engine could stall which could cause a
loss of vehicle power and result in an accident.
To correct this situation, Kia is recalling affected 1997-1999 Sportage models to tighten C123/0124 pin terminals, apply Stabilant 22A(R) to the
terminals, and install spring clips on the connectors to hold the connector halves tightly together.
In addition, the S116 sensor splice in the injector harness will be soldered to ensure maximum sensor circuit integrity.
* NOTICE
There is no charge to the customer for this repair. Under applicable law, you may not sell or otherwise deliver any affected 1997-1999 Sportage until
it has been repaired, pursuant to the procedures set forth in this bulletin.
AFFECTED PRODUCTION RANGE:
1997, 1998, and 1999 Sportage models produced from August 29, 1996 to February 1, 1999.
