Kia Cluster Malfunction Recall
The instrument cluster screen may respond slowly immediately after starting the vehicle. During this condition activating the turn signal can cause the cluster to reset or the Blind View Monitor (BVM) within the cluster to turn green. The malfunction is caused by PMIC noise induced falsely high temperature sensor readings which trigger the chip protection logic above a certain threshold and lead to performance limitation up to reboot or black screen.

Kia Sorento MQ4 PDC Recall
When the turn signal is switched off after operating the turn signal or hazard light more than 5 minutes the upper part of Daytime Running Light (DRL) stays off. The DRL will subsequently not meet the required intensity standard.
Kia will issue a software update via OTA (Over the Air) if this fails or a customer refuses the OTA update a Kia dealer will update the software.
Kia EV9 Seat Mounting Bolts
Due to an error by a plant assembly worker some of the seat mounting bolts may be missing in the subject vehicles. Seats with missing seat mounting bolts may not properly restrain an occupant during certain collisions potentially resulting in injuries in case of a crash.
Inspect the mounting bolts and refit if required.
Kia Niro HCA Fuse Replacement
The printed circuit board (PCB) in the Hydraulic Clutch Actuator (HCA) may become contaminated with fluid. A fluid contaminated PCB may lead to an electrical short circuit which in extreme cases may potentially result in a fire in the engine compartment while driving.
Check vehicle for Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTC) if HCA related codes are found replace the HCA the connector and reduced amperage fuse. If no related DTC are recorded fit reduced amperage fuse only.
Kia Ceed PHEV HCA Fuse Replacement
The printed circuit board (PCB) in the Hydraulic Clutch Actuator (HCA) may become contaminated with fluid. A fluid contaminated PCB may lead to an electrical short circuit which in extreme cases may potentially result in a fire in the engine compartment while driving.
Check vehicle for Diagnostic Trouble Codes if HCA related codes are found replace the HCA its connector and reduced amperage fuse modifying the fuse board to suit. If no related DTC are recorded fit reduced amperage fuse only modifying the fuse board to suit.
Kia Sportage Vacuum Pump Recall
The vacuum pump drive gear may be damaged by a mechanical failure caused by high acceleration torque during the engine starting phase. If the pump fails an increase of the brake pedal force may be experienced while driving.
Complete a software update of the engine ECU. The ECU upgrade reduces the initial load caused by the Mild Hybrid Starter Generator during engine startup (cranking acceleration).
Kia HECU Fuse Replacement
The HECU hydraulic electronic control unit of affected vehicles equipped with Anti-lock Brake Systems ABS and Electronic Stability Control ESC could leak internally and cause an electrical short over time. In extreme cases the HECU could overheat with a possible risk of an under bonnet fire.
The recall will replace the fuses in the junction box with a lower rated version.

Kia EV9 IEB Upgrade for RSPA Function
On affected vehicles the manufacturer has determined that due to an error with the Integrated Electronic Brake (IEB) software repeated Remote Smart Parking Assist (RSPA) stops may result in extended stopping distances while using RSPA.
Update of the Integrated Electronic Brake (IEB) software with improved logic.
Kia Picanto ISLA Upgrade
The Intelligent Speed Limit Assist (ISLA) system may not function properly due to an incorrect software version of the instrument cluster and the ISLA camera coding partially missing. As a result there may be no audible or visual warning on the dashboard when the speed limit is exceeded. Without this system the vehicle may not meet EU ISA legislation.
Update the Cluster software and the front camera ISLA coding.
Kia EV9 and Niro SG2 Gear Drive Unit Recall
On affected vehicles due to Improper torque applied to the Gear Drive Unit during assembly by the differential gear supplier they may exhibit a grinding noise while driving which can result in a loss of motive power and/or cause the differential to lock up.
On the affected vehicles the Gear Drive Unit will be replaced.
