Fuel Filler Door Release Opener Gas Actuator for Optima Kia 2011-2018 2019 Sedan
Product Overview
The fuel filler door actuator is the electric mechanism that unlocks your vehicle’s gas cap door when you press the release button inside the cabin. Over time, this small but essential part can fail due to worn internal gears, moisture intrusion, or electrical issues — leaving you unable to open the fuel door at the pump. A defective actuator means you may have to manually pry the door open, risking damage to the paint or latch system. Replacing it restores convenient, reliable access to your fuel fill port.
This fuel door lock actuator is manufactured to meet or exceed OEM specifications for the Kia Optima (2011–2019). It uses high-quality ABS plastic and precision-engineered internals to ensure a smooth, consistent release every time. The part is a direct plug-and-play replacement — no wiring modifications or special tools required. With the same OE form, fit, and function as the original 81590-2T000, you can count on a perfect match and long-lasting performance.
Whether you drive a 2011 base Optima or a 2019 EX trim, this actuator is compatible with all 1.6L, 2.0L, and 2.4L sedan variants. It’s an affordable, straightforward fix that eliminates the frustration of a stuck fuel door. Backed by a 1-year warranty and tested for scratch resistance and waterproofing, it’s the smart, cost-effective choice for your Kia.
