Water intrusion can result in corrosion in the wiring harness causing intermittent or disabled electric steering assist.

Owners are being advised to limit battery charging to a maximum of 80% until a remedy is available.

While this is a separate recall, a similar issue caused the automaker to voluntarily recall over 800,000 vehicles — across its Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep and Ram brands — earlier this year.

Regulators suspect repairs completed under two previous recalls may have failed to address the problem.

The display may randomly fail at startup, which can also disable the hazard lights, turn signal lamps and seat belt reminders.

The second-row seat belt anchors may have been improperly secured during assembly, which could reduce their effectiveness and increase the risk of injury in a crash.

The automaker decided on the recall “out of an abundance of caution,” after its supplier notified the company of a test failure.

The recall expands a previous one in June 2025 for switches that can stick and cause the second-row seats to suddenly slide or fold.

To date, Kia has received no reports of injuries or crashes related to the issue despite several reports of fires beneath the front seats.

Water can enter the camera assembly and corrode the unit’s circuit board, preventing the image from displaying when shifting into reverse.

The recall expands an October 2025 recall for a software error that can prevent pedestrian warning sounds from playing at low speeds.

The recall is for vehicles sold in the Midwestern and Northeastern regions of the U.S., where road salt is commonly used during the winter months.

The chrome plating on the console can bubble and peel, creating sharp edges that can injure occupants.

The recall includes a park outside warning due to the fire risk from overheated power steering system electrical components.

The unit’s 3.5-inch screen, which shows gear position and vehicle warnings, may fail to appear at startup or power off while driving due to a software error.

The supplemental restraint system control module may misinterpret potholes and speed bumps as collisions, and inadvertently trigger some airbags.

The automaker recalled over 1 million vehicles in March for windshield wiper issues.

A damaged wiring harness can cause the instrument panel to indicate that the seat belt buckle is fastened when it’s not latched.

A software fault can lead to an intermittent loss of the image feed or advanced driver assist features, including blindspot monitoring and lane-keeping assist.

SUVs accounted for 47 of the 63 vehicles that earned a spot on the 2026 IIHS Top Safety Pick and Top Safety Pick+ awards list.
