A broken driveshaft can result in a sudden loss of drive power, increasing the risk of a crash.
What to do
Kia will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the left front axle driveshaft for a heat treatment verification code, and replace it if the code is missing, free of charge.
The recall is expected to begin September 2, 2020.
