NHTSA recall 18V771000
Exterior Lighting · Kia America, Inc.
Details
What's wrong: Affects vehicles equipped with LED headlights. The headlights may not have been manufactured with the correct low beam aiming. 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."
Why it matters: If the headlights are not properly aimed, the driver may have reduced visibility, increasing the risk of a crash.
The fix: Kia will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the headlight aiming and replace the headlights, as necessary, free of charge. The recall began November 30, 2018.
