Kia's own DPF defence is "short trips and fuel quality". Kurnool commission didn't buy it. Any Seltos diesel owners seeing the regen alert?

Mine is the 1.5 turbo petrol DCT, so DPF is not my headache, but plenty of you in here run the diesel and this one is worth reading: the Kurnool consumer commission has ordered Kia and its dealer to refund ₹10.99 lakh to a Sonet HTX diesel owner over a regeneration warning that kept coming back.
What struck me reading the order summary is the timeline. The alert first showed at 364 km, and workshop visits ran for years with regens, sensor work, injector work and ECM updates. Kia's official stand was that BS6 diesel regen alerts depend on driving conditions, fuel quality and usage.
So, diesel owners here. Has the regeneration message ever popped up on your cluster? Year, variant and kilometres please, plus what your service advisor actually wrote on the job card. Curious whether the Hyderabad short-commute crowd sees it more.

ajay_mehta· 1 week agoZoya, no diesel here so can't share a job card, but 364 km is way too early for a regen flag, that's basically showroom stage. Petrol turbo DCT has its own gearbox chatter in the Brezza owner groups so not judging anyone. Does the order mention if Kia ever gave a proper root cause or just kept resetting it each time.
