Recalls for 2017 Kia Sportage LX AWD
2017 KIA SPORTAGE
NHTSA Campaign ID: 16V862000
Component: ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
Manufacturer: Kia Motors America
Manufacture Dates: 12/10/2015 - 08/26/2016
Potential Units Affected: 10212
Defect Description:
Kia Motors America (Kia) is recalling certain model year 2016-2017 Sorento vehicles manufactured October 27, 2014, to August 25, 2016, and 2017 Sportage vehicles manufactured December 10, 2015, to August 26, 2016. The affected vehicles are equipped with an accessory trailer hitch wiring harness that, due to a malfunction of the tow hitch module, may result in the trailer brake lights being constantly illuminated. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 108, " Lamps, Reflective Devices, and Associated Equipment."
Consequence:
If the trailer brake lights stay illuminated while being used, other drivers may be confused, increasing the risk of a crash.
Action to take:
Kia will notify owners, and dealers will replace the trailer tow hitch harness, free of charge. The recall began January 18, 2017. Owners may contact Kia customer service at 1-800-333-4542. Kia's number for this recall is SC142.
