2023 Kia Sorento Service and Repair Manual

The 2023 Kia Sorento spans gas, full hybrid, and plug-in hybrid powertrains, and a specification that fits one will not always fit another — this factory service and repair manual is matched to your exact year, engine, and trim, so what it tells you is what Kia published for that vehicle rather than an approximation from a nearby model year.

Known issues on the 2023 Sorento. Three recalls are on federal record for this model year. The first covers the rearview camera: its mounting clips may break, and a rearview camera that does not properly display an image can reduce the driver's rear view. The second covers the HVAC blower motor wiring harness, which may be inadequate and can result in a fire — a fire increases the risk of injury. The third covers the air bag warning labels on the driver and front passenger sun visors, which may detach, and a detached air bag warning label will not warn occupants about the risks of air bag deployment. Owners have filed 170 complaints for the year and Kia has issued 72 technical service bulletins. The factory diagnostic and repair procedures behind each of those systems are here.

From a blower motor wiring check to a rearview camera inspection or a hybrid-system service, it keeps you on Kia's own procedure and the exact specification for your 2023 Sorento.
