Kia filed this with NHTSA as a service bulletin dated Sep 28, 2023, received Oct 1, 2023, about the electrical system. It names 1 model year (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.

What the bulletin says
Source: NHTSA's summary of the manufacturer's communicationWhat it applies to, as the document itself states it — the build window in the manufacturer’s own words, read by machine from the PDF NHTSA serves. The build date is on the certification label in the driver’s door jamb; the dealer settles a borderline vehicle by its VIN.
This bulletin provides information to inspect the function of the power door mirror switch on certain 2024MY Seltos (SP2) vehicles produced from May 29, 2023 through July 19, 2023, which may exhibit an inoperative (left and/or right side) power door mirror. The power door mirror switch may have a larger gap between the contact points, resulting in an improper electrical connection between them.

Common questions
Source: NHTSA, 49 CFR 579.5Is Kia TSB_ELE307 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_ELE307 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. Every Kia warranty extension on file lists the ones Kia has filed.
Which vehicles does TSB_ELE307 cover?
The manufacturer filed it against 1 model year: 2024 Kia Seltos. Whether one particular vehicle is affected is a matter of its VIN and its build, not its model year alone. The document itself sets the build window: 2024MY Seltos (SP2): built 29 May 2023 – 19 Jul 2023 — the build date is on the certification label in the driver’s door jamb.
