Manufacturer: Kia Motors America

Reported Mar 10, 2017

What is recalled

Kia Motors America (Kia) is recalling certain 2017 Niro vehicles. The affected vehicles may have a damaged Motor Driven Power Steering (MDPS) connector resulting in a loss of electric power steering assistance.

Safety consequence

Loss of power steering assist would require higher steering effort, especially at lower speeds, which may increase the risk of a crash.

Manufacturer remedy

Kia will notify owners, and dealers will replace the MDPS motor, free of charge. The recall began April 3, 2017. Owners may contact Kia customer service at 1-800-333-4542. Kia's number for this recall is SC145.
