2 recalls covering model years 2023. To check whether your vehicle is affected, look up your 17-character VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls — a recall may apply only to some vehicles of a given year.
Certain Kia Sorento, Sorento Hybrid, and Sorento Plug-in Hybrid SUVs have clips that hold the rearview camera in place. These clips may break over time. If a clip breaks, the camera image may not show up correctly on the vehicle's display screen. This means the picture drivers normally see when backing up might not appear the way it is supposed to.
Certain Kia Sorento, Sorento Hybrid, Sorento Plug-In Hybrid, and Sportage vehicles equipped with a tow hitch wiring harness, either installed at the factory or added later through a Kia dealership, may allow debris and moisture to build up on a circuit board inside the harness module. This buildup can cause an electrical short, which can result in a fire.
⚠ NHTSA advises: park outside and away from structures (fire risk).
