2007-08 Sorento Rear Wheel Guard Noise

Some customers may complain of fluttering or knocking noise while driving at speeds above 30 MPH with vehicles produced prior to 8/22/2007 due to the inner wheel guard flexing. To address the customer concern, install speed clips and screws in place of the plastic retaining screws. Vehicles produced after 8/22/2007 have strengthened and reinforced wheel guards to prevent the concern from occuring.
