On certain Sportage vehicles, the brake booster diaphragm may become misaligned, which can cause an internal vacuum leak. This leak can result in a loss of power brake assist, which can extend the distance needed to stop the vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash.

1. Check your VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls.
2. Contact a Kia dealer to have the brake booster inspected and replaced if needed; you can also call Kia customer service at 1-800-333-4542.
3. The repair is free.

Where do I find my VIN, and what do I tell the dealer?

Your VIN is the 17-character code on the lower left of the windshield, on your registration and usually on your insurance card. Enter it at nhtsa.gov/recalls to see whether this recall is still open on your car. When you call the dealer, say you have an open safety recall and give them NHTSA campaign number 23V410000.
