Thanks for this! Son’s trunk stopped working on Sunday… had it fixed one day later thanks to this video (and Amazon) lol. It was short and to the point yet still included every necessary step!!!
Recall date 2023-08-23 Recall no. 23V594000 Kia America, Inc. (Kia) is recalling certain 2016-2017 Rio, 2016-2018 Optima, 2017-2018 Optima Hybrid and Optima Plug-in Hybrid vehicles. The trunk latch base may crack, preventing the opening of the trunk from the inside. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 401, "Internal Trunk Release." I had this same problem on my 2017 Optima & Kia changed out my latch for free. Fixed in about 45min at the dealership.
Hey was wondering can I still take it in even though I got my letter for this same recall about 6 months ago I’d say ? I’ve ignored it because my trunk never gave me any problems till the other day it doesn’t close no more 😣
@@dontslip3966 Yes you can. No expiration date for the recall. Just call Kia & tell them the problem with the recall #. They will schedule an appt & replace it for free. My local Kia did mine on the same day I called.
Hey bro I'm having issues with mine not locking I check the fuse but good do you think if I disconnect battery it will reset ir do I have to replace at the moment I got it tied down it won't lick and the dash doesn't tell me it's open
