2023 Kia Sorento Hybrid

Issue: 
On certain vehicles, the wiring harness for the blower motor may not have been manufactured properly. As a result, the wiring could overheat and melt. 
Note: This recall only affects Sorento LX+ models. 
 
Safety Risk: 
Wiring that overheats and melts can create the risk of a fire. 
 
Corrective Actions: 
Kia will notify owners by mail and advise you to take your vehicle to a dealership to replace the blower motor wiring harness and the blower motor resistor.

Issue: 
On certain vehicles, the compliance label may be missing information in French. The words listed on the label for "Tires", "Rims", "Front" and "Rear" appear in English only, when they should be listed as "Tires/Pneus", "Rims/Jantes", "Front/Avant" and "Rear/Arriere". Canadian regulations require this information to be listed on the label in both English and French. 

Safety Risk: 
These small errors do not affect vehicle safety. 

Corrective Actions: 
This is not a recall. Kia has corrected the compliance label for all new vehicles.

Issue: 
On certain vehicles, the rearview camera mounting clips could fail. If this happens, the rearview camera could fall out of position and cause the rearview image not to display correctly. 
 
Safety Risk: 
A rearview camera image that doesn't display correctly could reduce a driver's ability to see behind the vehicle while backing up. This could increase the risk of a crash. 
 
Corrective Actions: 
Kia will notify owners by mail and advise you to take your vehicle to a dealership to inspect the rearview camera housing, and replace it as necessary.

Issue: 
On certain vehicles, the airbag warning labels on the driver and passenger sun visors could peel off. Canadian regulations require information about the airbag system to be provided on the sun visors. 

Safety Risk: 
The airbag warning labels provide information about the airbags and child restraint safety recommendations. Not following these recommendations could create an increased risk of injury. 

Corrective Actions: 
Kia will notify owners by mail and advise you to take your vehicle to a dealership to inspect and replace the driver and passenger sun visors, as needed.
