Application Details

Compatible with 2010-2018 Hyundai Santa Fe, upper; 2014-2019 Hyundai Santa Fe XL, upper; and 2011-2015 Kia Sorento, upper.

What This Hose Helps Address

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the hose diameter, routing, and position before installation to confirm the correct upper application. Inspect the mating necks, clamps, and surrounding cooling components for wear or corrosion before transferring the hose into service. Proper coolant fill and system bleed procedures should be followed after installation to restore normal cooling-system operation.
