Kia bulletin TSB_BOD336
Kia filed this with NHTSA as a service bulletin dated Jun 4, 2026, received Jun 17, 2026, about the structure. It names 15 model years (2019–2024). A service bulletin is not a safety recall: it is the manufacturer telling its dealers how to diagnose or repair a condition, and whether the work is paid for depends on the warranty in force. Quoting the number at a service desk can save a diagnosis.

Common questions
Source: NHTSA, 49 CFR 579.5Is Kia TSB_BOD336 a recall?
No. A service bulletin is a manufacturer communication filed with NHTSA under 49 CFR 579.5; a safety recall carries an NHTSA campaign number (two digits, a letter, six digits) and a federal duty to repair for free. Check the vehicle’s recalls by VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls, or on its page here.
Is the TSB_BOD336 repair free?
Not automatically. A service bulletin describes how to diagnose or repair a condition; who pays depends on the warranty in force, any extension, and the dealer. Quoting the number can save a diagnosis either way.

The manufacturer filed it against 15 model years: 2024 Kia EV6, 2023 Kia EV6, 2022 Kia EV6, 2024 Kia EV9, 2020 Kia Optima, 2019 Kia Optima and more. Whether one particular vehicle is affected is a matter of its VIN and its build, not its model year alone.
