If you are installing the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C13073 on your 2012 Kia Sorento then it will require the following hardware:

Quantity (4) M10 - 1.25 x 30 (Hex Bolt)
Quantity (6) 7/16" (Conical Toothed Washer)
Quantity (2) 7_16 - 14 x 4 1_2 Hex (Hex Bolt)
Quantity (2) 7/16-14 Hex (Flange Nut)

We actually have the replacement hardware available on our site. If you go to the # RHK product page you will just need to input your hitch number (13073) in the "Hitch Item Number" bar and then select "Curt" from the drop down menu. Once you order it we will send you all of the hardware needed for installation.

Please keep in mind that the hardware for a trailer hitch will need to be replaced for each installation as it is only meant to be torqued down one time. Also, per the Curt warranty a support strap, like part # 18050, is required for all non-trailer loads like a cargo carrier or bike rack.
