Kia has announced the recall of nearly 74,500 copies of its Sorento, including hybrid and plug-in hybrid models. The reason? A software problem in the body systems control unit, responsible for managing the headlights and lights, would be the cause.
Affected vehicles include:
- • Sorento 2024-2025
- • Sorento hybrid and plug-in hybrid 2025
This failure can result in the loss of low beam and headlights, reducing visibility and increasing the risk of an accident.
