Fire Risk Recall For Kia’s Sorento And Soul

Fire risk recall for Kia’s Sorento and Soul.

Kia is recalling over 500 of its Sorentos and Souls built between September 2009 and June this year due to a potential wiring problem.

A fault has been identified in the wiring of the “mood lighting” found in the doors and there is a small danger of the wiring overheating, which could cause a fire.

Hamish McCowan is the after-sales and logistics Director for Kia Motors (UK) Ltd and has said “We are not aware of any vehicles in the UK suffering from this problem, but we believe it is better to be safe, and that is why we are taking this recall action.

‘The risk of a fire is small and would only occur under extreme circumstances, but we want to make sure none of our customers are anxious about the safety of their vehicles’.
