Kia recalls more than 200,000 Sedonas and Sorentos

Kia Motors America is recalling 228,829 model year 2006-2010 Sedonas and model year 2007-2009 Sorentos.

Moisture may enter the Anti-lock Brake (ABS) Module and result in an electrical short.

An electrical short within the ABS Module may cause an engine compartment fire, even when the vehicle is turned off, increasing the risk of an injury.

What to do

Kia will notify owners, and dealers will install a relay in the main junction box to prevent power from being directed to the HECU when the vehicle's ignition switch is turned off free of charge.

The recall is expected to begin April 10, 2020.

Owners may contact Kia customer service at (800) 333-4542. Kia's number for this recall is SC186.
