TSBs and Recalls?

TSBs and Recalls?
I noticed there is no section for TSBs and Recalls. This is always helpful for owners so they have a little ammunition when confronting their dealer with a know issue. There are a few that have been issued on the earlier Fortes, one big one on the 4spd tranny that changed the shift points.

i agree with Kenny C!

With that account you get access to the actual KIA service actions, TSB, etc.

I look on that site about once a week just to be sure. I've even told my dealer there was a TSB he wasn't aware of.

I tried that before I posted, but couldn't get signed up. Just realized it was probably one of those backward sites that caters to IE users and not Firefox users. Got signed up using IE. Wink

RE: TSBs and Recalls?
Hello!

Thanks to KennyC for posting the link for the Kia Tech Info website! I'll bet it will become a great resource ---- IF anyone has figured out how to register for an account using a Mac computer!

Apple & Microsoft don't always play well with each other, and in 2003 (I believe), Microsoft dropped IE for Mac computers. And with the new dual platform configurations, I doubt I could get it to work even if I could find a download of an old version.

I've tried using Safari & Firefox -- no go. I click the privacy policy link, but only get a blank page. Without being able to read & accept their policies, I can't get further on in the registration.

Has anyone come up with a work around for this? Thanks in advance!

IC

You might try Google Chrome.

RE: TSBs and Recalls?
Thanks for the suggestion. I should have included Chrome in my post, but it's a no go as well.
