Research notes

Caveats and conflicts (2)
  • Bulletin years (2012 production) do not exactly cover the row year. Maker shown as Hyundai Kia because the bulletin gives no builder name.
  • Applicable-vehicle section of the bulletin names only Rio UB; Soul is only in the header, so treat as likely not proven.
