Manufacturer: Kia America, Inc.

Reported Aug 31, 2023

What is recalled

Kia America, Inc. (Kia) is recalling certain 2022-2023 Sorento, Sorento Hybrid, and Sorento Plug-in Hybrid (PHEV) vehicles.

Safety consequence

A rearview camera that does not properly display an image can reduce the driver's rear view, increasing the risk of a crash.

Manufacturer remedy

Dealers will inspect and replace the rearview camera housing, as necessary, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed October 27, 2023. Owners may contact Kia customer service at 1-800-333-4542. Kia's number for this recall is SC280.
