SERVICE INFORMATION

This bulletin provides the procedure to install an Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS) relay block on the Process Control Box (PCB) - Fuse/Junction Box of certain 2006-2010MY Sedona (VQ) vehicles and certain 2007-2009MY Sorento (BL) vehicles (refer to page 8/8 for production dates). When the vehicle is in the key OFF position and parked, the Hydraulic Electronic Control Unit (HECU) remains energized. If moisture enters the HECU, an electrical short circuit could occur even though the vehicle is turned off and parked. An electrical short circuit inside the HECU may increase the risk of an engine compartment key OFF fire. Before conducting the procedure, verify that the vehicle is included in the list of affected VINs.

Installation Procedure: Sedona (VQ) page 2 - Sorento (BL) page 4.

NOTE: There is no charge to the vehicle owner for this repair. Under applicable law, you may not sell or otherwise deliver any affected vehicle until it has been repaired pursuant to the procedures set forth in this bulletin.
