Hyundai-Kia is recalling about 35,000 Sorentos from the 2011 model year and Souls from the 2010 model year. Wiring in the Soul's "advanced lighting speakers" and the Sorento's interior accent illumination system may have been improperly soldered.
The problem could cause an electrical short, which could start a fire.
Dealers will replace the wiring harness free of charge.
