Details

What's wrong: Moisture may enter the anti-lock brake (ABS) module and result in an electrical short.

Why it matters: An electrical short within the ABS module may cause an engine compartment fire, even when the vehicle is turned off, increasing the risk of an injury.

The fix: Kia will notify owners, and dealers will install a relay in the main junction box to prevent power from being directed to the hecu when the vehicle's ignition switch is turned off, free of charge. The recall began June 5, 2020.
