Thanks for the update. Any idea what the new parts are? New head, glow plugs?

Thx

 

[NY_kioti_sales]

most are glow plugs, and/ or preheat controller.

Wow! Very fast response to this problem.... unlike some other problems that have dragged on for years.

I keep telling them response times to issues need to be faster. They are getting better, but you can always improve.... this is a step forward.

Daedong builds their engines in house while the problem that has dragged on for years (KL120/KL130 cracked loaders) is outsourced to an OEM independent supplier. Apparently Daedong/Kioti carries little clout with this outsourced KL120/KL130 supplier.

Joe Signs,

Could you please elaborate on the S/N's and models, gear or HST?
I am confused if this applies to MY CK20 HST with Tractor sn; 319600176.

Thanks, Joe48

Joe,

If you're isn't a S model, I don't think it's effected.

Assuming your model is an "S", does this mean parts (and labor?) are included in replacement? Thanks in advance!
