This OEM starter motor is a new 12V rotating electrical unit supplied as part number 361002B502. It is described as STR 12V Kia and is listed for Kia applications, with a unit of measure of each. For buyers comparing replacements, the voltage and part number are the most useful starting points when matching the correct starter to the vehicle.

The unit is a starter motor in the rotating electrical category and is supplied new rather than remanufactured. The warranty is listed as manufactures defect, so the key buying check remains correct identification of the part number 361002B502 and confirmation that the vehicle application matches the listed Kia fitment details before ordering.

Application and Buying Notes

When selecting a starter motor, the part number matters as much as the vehicle description. For this item, 361002B502 is the clearest identifier, along with the 12V rating and the fact that it is a new OEM starter motor. If you are replacing an existing unit, compare the number on the old starter or verify it through the vehicle’s parts listing before purchase.

The fitment data supplied with this item references Hyundai Veloster applications across model years 2011 to 2017, while the description also states it suits Kia. That makes application checking especially important. Do not assume a starter is interchangeable between makes or model ranges just because the general description appears close; starter motors need the correct mounting and electrical match for the vehicle in question.

Because this is a rotating electrical part, correct specification is essential. The listed 12V voltage is the main electrical detail provided, and no other installation measurements or performance ratings are supplied here. If your vehicle has been modified, fitted with a different engine variant, or previously repaired with a non-standard starter, confirm compatibility carefully before ordering.

The warranty is listed as manufactures defect only, so it is sensible to inspect the unit on arrival and confirm it matches the required part number, application, and condition. If there is any uncertainty, use the vehicle VIN, existing starter details, or a parts catalogue cross-check to reduce the risk of ordering the wrong component.

Before supply, the safest approach is to confirm the original unit details against the listed part number, voltage, output rating, mounting arrangement, and pulley configuration. That checking process is standard practice in the parts trade because visually similar units can still differ in service-critical ways.

For workshop, fleet, and equipment applications, accurate identification of part number 361002B502 helps avoid unnecessary freight, additional labour, and vehicle or machine downtime. Where the application is not straightforward, the original unit, OEM reference, or workshop records should be used as the primary confirmation point.

For part number 361002B502, the normal identification sequence is part number, electrical rating, mounting arrangement, connector or terminal style, and pulley or drive details. Using those checkpoints helps confirm that the listed unit matches the service requirement rather than only looking similar.

For a starter motor in workshop, fleet, trade, agricultural, or construction service, the listed voltage 12 should be checked carefully. Incorrect selection can affect installation time, return freight, and equipment availability.

Compatibility note: Please confirm fitment using part number 361002B502 and the exact vehicle application before purchase. The supplied fitment data references Hyundai Veloster applications from 2011 to 2017, while the product description states Kia suitability, so matching by application details is essential.
