Kia is recalling more than 30,000 of its most popular SUVs amid concerns a software issue may lead to a vehicle fire.
The issue impacts 31,074 vehicles across the Kia Sorento and Sportage lines. The recall notice outlines that due a software issue, the Heater Core Element may operate at a higher than intended temperature causing damage to the connector. If this occurs it may result in a vehicle fire.
The recall affects all variants of UM Sorento models from 2014 to 2020 and QL Sportage models from 2015 – 2021.
Owners are being told to contact their local Kia dealership to schedule an appointment to have the HVAC control unit software updated and the Heater Core Element and connector inspected and replaced if damaged.
