NHTSA recall 20V389000
Electrical System, Power Train · Kia America, Inc.
Details
What's wrong: The parking mechanism may become damaged if the driver moves the gear shift lever into park 'p' before the vehicle comes to a complete stop. If the parking mechanism is damaged, unintended vehicle movement may occur when the gear shift lever is in the park 'p' position and the parking brake is not applied.
Why it matters: Unintended vehicle movement can increase the risk of a crash.
The fix: Kia will notify owners, and dealers will update the electronic control unit software, free of charge. The recall began August 7, 2020.
