Details
What's wrong: The pinion plug may allow the pinion gear to separate from the steering gear assembly.
Why it matters: If the pinion gear separates, steering will be lost, increasing the risk of a crash.
The fix: Kia will notify owners, and dealers will inspect and secure the pinion plug or replace the steering gear assembly, as necessary, free of charge. The recall began November 16, 2017.
