BBB Industries 6989 Starter

Starter for Hyundai and Kia Applications

BBB Industries reman starter 6989 is built for select Hyundai and Kia vehicles with confirmed fitment across 2012-2016 applications. It uses a permanent magnet gear reduction design with a closed nose cone and a clockwise rotation layout for direct replacement service.

Key Features

• Remanufactured starter for 12-volt starting systems
• Permanent magnet gear reduction design for efficient cranking
• Closed nose cone construction
• 11-tooth pinion configuration
• Solenoid attached with starter drive included
• OE manufacturer reference: Delco/Delphi

Detailed Description

This BBB Industries reman starter 6989 is engineered around the PG260H series and matches the OE-style configuration used in select Hyundai Azera, Santa Fe, Santa Fe XL, and Kia Cadenza, Sedona, and Sorento applications. The 1.7 power rating, clockwise rotation, and 11-pinon-tooth layout support proper engagement and starting performance in the specified vehicles. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 36100-3C221, 8000470) for the same application.

What It Is Used For

• Restoring engine cranking when the starter no longer engages reliably
• Replacing a worn solenoid-attached starter assembly
• Addressing slow or inconsistent starting performance
• Correcting pinion engagement issues tied to starter wear
• Servicing a failed starter in Hyundai and Kia starting systems

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the vehicle build date and match the fitment notes before ordering, since several applications are limited to specific production cutoffs. Confirm the 12-volt system, clockwise rotation, and 11-tooth pinion specification against the original unit. Mounting bolts and shims are not included.

Quality Assurance
