Summary
This article outlines how to identify one-time-use parts and fasteners for Kia vehicles, noting that Kia uses both written instructions and symbols in their shop manuals to designate non-reusable components.
What to do on the job
Carefully read all Kia repair procedure steps and look for specific symbols or written notices, such as 'Always use a new bolt' or 'do not reuse', to identify and replace all one-time-use fasteners and parts.
How to use it
Use this document to justify the replacement and billing of OEM-specified one-time-use fasteners, clips, and parts on estimates and supplements. Highlight that Kia does not rely solely on symbols, meaning technicians must thoroughly read the written text within the specific repair procedures to identify all non-reusable components.
