Electrical System, Exterior Lighting · Kia America, Inc.
Details
What's wrong: Kia america, Inc. (Kia) is recalling certain 2024-2025 Sorento, 2025 Sorento Hybrid, and 2025 Sorento plug-in hybrid vehicles. A software error in the body domain control unit (bdc) may cause a loss of low beam headlights and taillights. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (fmvss) 108, "lamps, reflective devices, and associated equipment."
Why it matters: A loss of headlights and taillights can reduce visibility, increasing the risk of a crash.
The fix: Dealers will update the bdc software, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed February 21, 2025.
