Reported risk: Issue:
On certain vehicles, the tow hitch harness control module software could cause the instrument cluster to reboot while driving. If this happens, you may not be able to see certain information about the vehicle, including the speedometer, warnings, and tell-tales.
Note: This recall only affects vehicles equipped with a 4.2-in screen and a Genuine Kia tow hitch harness.
Safety Risk:
Warnings, tell-tales and gauges that don't display 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 inspect and, if necessary, replace the tow hitch harness control module.
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.
