FAQQuestions about the Borrego manual

Which Borrego years does this manual cover?

Every year from 2009 to 2011 — 3 separate manuals, one per model year. Pick your year in the selector; the manual you receive is matched to that exact year, engine and trim.

Is this the OEM Kia Borrego manual or an aftermarket guide?

The OEM version. It carries the procedures, specifications, torque values and wiring diagrams Kia published for the Borrego, organized by system — not a condensed aftermarket summary.

Yes. Full wiring diagrams are part of every Borrego manual, alongside repair procedures, specifications and diagnostic information.

Does the manual cover Borrego recalls?

4 recalls are on federal record across the 2009–2011 Borrego, listed by year below. The manual carries the manufacturer's diagnostic and repair procedures behind the systems involved; the recall repairs themselves are performed free by Kia dealers.

Why do some Borrego years cost more?

Every Borrego year is $29.99.
