Kia America, Inc. (Kia) is recalling certain 2016-2022 Sorento, 2021-2022 Sorento Hybrid (HEV), 2022-2023 Sorento Plug-In Hybrid (PHEV), and 2017-2022 Sportage vehicles equipped with a tow hitch harness installed as original equipment, or purchased as an accessory through a Kia dealership. Debris and moisture accumulation on the tow hitch harness module printed circuit board (PCB) may cause an electrical short, which can result in a fire.
A fire while parked or driving can increase the risk of injury.
Owners are advised to park outside and away from structures until the recall repair is complete. Dealers will inspect the vehicle, and, as necessary, replace the fuse and/or tow hitch harness module, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed August 11, 2023. Owners may contact Kia customer service at 1-800-333-4542. Kia's number for this recall is SC249.

Kia has notified owners, and dealers will inspect and replace the fuel pipe, as necessary, free of charge. The recall began January 17, 2019. Owners may contact Kia customer service at 1-800-333-4542. Kia's number for this recall is SC172.

Kia Motors America (Kia) is recalling certain 2017 Sorento vehicles equipped with 3.3L engines. The engine crankshaft may have been improperly heat treated and may fail.
If the crankshaft fails, the engine will stall, increasing the risk of a crash. A failed crankshaft also increases the risk of a fire.
Kia will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the crankshaft, and, as necessary, replace the engine sub assembly, free of charge. The recall began November 6, 2017. Owners may contact Kia customer service at 1-800-333-4542. Kia's number for this recall is SC153.

Trailer hitchesNov 30, 2016
Kia Motors America (Kia) is recalling certain model year 2016-2017 Sorento vehicles manufactured October 27, 2014, to August 25, 2016, and 2017 Sportage vehicles manufactured December 10, 2015, to August 26, 2016. The affected vehicles are equipped with an accessory trailer hitch wiring harness that, due to a malfunction of the tow hitch module, may result in the trailer brake lights being constantly illuminated. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 108, " Lamps, Reflective Devices, and Associated Equipment."
If the trailer brake lights stay illuminated while being used, other drivers may be confused, increasing the risk of a crash.
Kia will notify owners, and dealers will replace the trailer tow hitch harness, free of charge. The recall began January 18, 2017. Owners may contact Kia customer service at 1-800-333-4542. Kia's number for this recall is SC142.

I'M REPORTING ON A SUNROOF THAT EXPLODED WITHOUT ANY APPARENT REASON. ON DECEMBER 29, 2017, MY WIFE AND I WERE RETURNING HOME FROM A TRIP IN OUR 2017 KIA SORENTO. (MILEAGE AT TIME OF INCIDENT WAS ABOUT 16,080) IT WAS PURCHASED NEW IN DECEMBER 2016. THE TIME WAS AROUND 10 AM, IT WAS RAINING AND ABOUT 37. THE HIGHWAY WAS BARE AND WET AND IN GOOD CONDITION ' NO POTHOLES OR ANYTHING OF THAT NATURE. WE WERE TRAVELING NORTH ON HIGHWAY 95 JUST NORTH OF LEWISTON, ID. THE POSTED SPEED IS 65 MPH AND THAT WAS THE SPEED I WAS TRAVELING. THERE WERE NO CARS WITHIN AT LEAST A HALF MILE IN FRONT OF US. THERE WERE NO CARS IN THE OPPOSITE LANES. THE UPHILL LANE WE WERE TRAVELING IN IS ACROSS FROM THE HILLSIDE WHICH IS ACROSS THE HIGHWAY TO THE WEST. THE HIGHWAY IS FOUR LANES WITH A MEDIAN AND JERSEY BARRIER. TO THE EAST OF THE LANE WE WERE TRAVELING IN, THE TERRAIN IS HILLY BUT NOT STEEP AND DOES NOT HANG ABOVE THE ROAD. (THIS IS TO ESTABLISH THAT THERE WERE NO AREAS WHERE A ROCK COULD RANDOMLY FALL OFF A HILLSIDE, BOUNCE UP AND FALL ONTO THE SUNROOF PANEL.) AT ABOUT 10:05, THERE WAS A TREMENDOUS NOISE AND INSTANTLY THERE WAS AN INITIAL RUSH OF AIR OUT OF THE CAR AFTER WHICH SOME BITS OF GLASS SHARDS CAME DOWN ON US. I COULD HEAR LARGE CHUNKS OF GLASS MOVING ALONG THE ROOF TOP TO THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE AND THE NOISE OF A SUDDENLY OPEN TOP. THE LINER WAS OPEN SO THERE WAS NO PROTECTION FROM THE GLASS OR THE ELEMENTS. I PULLED OVER AS SOON AS I SAFELY COULD TO INSPECT THE DAMAGE. I CLOSED THE LINER TO KEEP THE RAIN OUT, GOT OUT OF THE CAR AND STOOD ON THE DOOR JAMB TO GET A CLOSER LOOK. THE GLASS WAS POOCHED UP AROUND THE HOLE WHICH WAS ABOUT 2 FEET IN DIAMETER IN THE CENTER OF THE PANE. (THE PANE THAT SHATTERED WAS THE ONE THAT RETRACTS AND IS RIGHT ABOVE THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER SEATS.) WE LOOKED AROUND FOR GLASS AND THERE WERE JUST TINY BITS IN THE FRONT AREA.

THEY WERE GOING TO REPLACE THE FULL THROTTLE BODY BUT THEN RECEIVED NOTICE TO PUT A HALT ON THAT BECAUSE OF ANOTHER ISSUE. I DO NOT FEEL SAFE PUTTING MY CHILDREN BACK IN THIS VEHICLE.

OUR SUNROOF EXPLODED WHILE DRIVING SOUTH ON US I-5 JUST NORTH OF EVERETT, WA. THE GLASS BLEW UPWARD OUT OF THE CAR & GLASS SHARDS FLEW ON US AND OUR DOG. WE CLOSED THE FABRIC ROOF COVER SO THE GLASS WOULDN'T FALL ON US. KIA TACOMA SAID IT WAS NOT COVERED BY WARRENTEE. THEY REPLACED THE SUNROOF SO WE COULD CONTINUE OUR TRIP TO ARIZONA. THE COST WAS $944 US. WE CONTACTED KIA CANADA WHO HAVE OPENED A CLAIM BUT WE DON'T KNOW IF WE WILL BE REIMBURSED. THIS PROBLEM HAS EXISTED FOR SEVERAL YEARS.
