Reading a Kia ABS part number

Hyundai / Kia

5-5 numbers. 58920-xxxxx = hydraulic unit assembly (ABS/ESC module with pump, Hyundai/Kia part code 58910B); 58910-xxxxx = 'ABS pump control module' on some models (Soul, Santa Fe CM); NHTSA recall 23V-651 identifies the ABS module family as '58900-*****'. Kia catalogs drop the dash (589202T550). So source ↗

e.g. 58920-3X950 · 58920-2T550 · 589201U000
