PRODUCT IMPROVEMENT CAMPAIGN: QUESTION AND ANSWER - This document is the Question and Answer Guide containing the most frequently asked questions regarding the product improvement (PI2002B). The warranty coverage information has been updated to state: "Upon completion of this Product Improvement Campaign, Kia will extend the warranty coverage for the engine long block assembly to 15 years from the date the vehicle was first put into service or 150,000 miles, whichever occurs first for both new and subsequent vehicle owners."

What a TSB means. Technical service bulletins are repair guidance manufacturers send to dealers — they are not recalls, and repairs are not automatically free (warranty extensions are an exception worth checking). The full document is available via NHTSA’s vehicle lookup.
