Built on Denso’s reman starter program, this unit focuses on electrical integrity, consistent cranking torque, and dependable cold- and hot-weather starts. The 280-5372 is a direct-fit starter for a wide range of Hyundai and Kia models from 2006-2016.

  • Inspect mounting surfaces and starter connections for corrosion or damage before installation.
