What's wrong, in plain English
The motor that powers the front seat may overheat if the seat slide knob gets stuck, or if an earlier repair for this same problem was done incorrectly. This overheating can lead to a fire while the vehicle is parked or being driven. This recall replaces an earlier one for the same issue, so even vehicles that already had that repair done will need this new fix completed as well.
What you should do
2. Check your VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls to confirm your vehicle is included.
3. Contact a Kia dealer, or call Kia customer service at 1-800-333-4542.
4. The repair is free.
Where do I find my VIN, and what do I tell the dealer?
