Known issues on the 2004 Magentis. The Magentis sold in the United States as the Kia Optima, so its federal safety record is filed under that name. One recall stands against the model year, logged under its US-market twin, the Optima, against the front suspension: corrosion of the front subframe could lead to separation, possibly resulting in a vehicle crash. Kia Motors Corporation recalled 36,538 model year 2001-2004 Optima vehicles. Owners have filed 306 complaints for the year and Kia has issued 14 technical service bulletins, all recorded under the Optima name. The factory diagnostic and repair procedures behind those systems are here.
Whether you are inspecting the front subframe for corrosion, chasing a fault on the 2.7L V6 or the 2.4L four, or working through a scheduled service, it keeps you on the OEM procedure and the correct specification for your 2004 Magentis.
