NHTSA recall 22V760000
Power Train · Kia America, Inc.
Details
What's wrong: Kia motors, Inc. (Kia) is recalling certain 2021-2022 Sorento and 2021-2023 k5 vehicles. The vehicle's "fail-safe" limited-mobility drive mode may be impaired, when prompted by a transmission oil pump malfunction, which can result in a complete loss of drive power.
Why it matters: Loss of drive power increases the risk of a crash.
The fix: Dealers will inspect and replace the transmission, as necessary. Dealers will also update the transmission control unit software. All repairs will be performed free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed December 9, 2022.
