2015 Kia Sorento Service and Repair Manual

Known issues on the 2015 Sorento. Three recalls are on federal record for this model year. Two concern the antilock brake system's Hydraulic Electronic Control Unit: brake fluid may leak inside the HECU, and if the HECU short circuits, there is an increased risk of an engine compartment fire — the later of the two covers vehicles previously recalled under the first, because an electrical short in the HECU increases the risk of a fire while parked or driving. The third covers the gasoline fuel delivery hoses, lines, piping and fittings on Sorentos that previously received an engine replacement under recall 17V-224, where a fuel leak in the presence of an ignition source can increase the risk of a fire. Owners have filed 949 complaints for the year and Kia has issued 157 technical service bulletins.

Whether you are tracing a brake-fluid leak at the HECU, inspecting fuel lines after an engine replacement, or running a scheduled service on the 3.3L V6 or the 2.4L four-cylinder, this manual keeps you on Kia's own procedure and the correct specification for your 2015 Sorento.
