Reported risk: Issue:
On certain electric vehicles, the safety plug for the high-voltage battery may not have been manufactured properly. As a result, the plug could overheat and melt. This problem could also cause a loss of power to the wheels.
Safety Risk:
A safety plug that overheats and melts can create the risk of a fire. A loss of power to the wheels could increase the risk of a crash.
Corrective Actions:
Kia will notify owners by mail and advise you to take your vehicle to a dealership to replace the safety plug.
Verify each fact at the issuing agency before acting. Recall scope, affected lots, and remediation instructions may be updated by the agency after our last sync.
