SERVICE ACTION: IMPROVED SLIDING DOOR LATCH (SA058)
This Service Action provides information relating to 2006-2010 Sedona vehicles produced from 6/15/2005 to 10/19/2009. Some Sedona vehicles with improperly maintained latches for their sliding doors can accumulate sufficient road dirt to cause the latches to stick by impeding rotation of the latch around the pin. To improve customer satisfaction Kia is conducting this Service Action to make available a modified door latch kit containing both left and right latches, with additional openings to allow foreign material to more readily exit the latch assembly.
