Details

Issue: On certain vehicles, the inspection completed by a Kia dealer during service campaign SC044 (Transport Canada recall number 2022-222) may not have been done correctly.

As a result, a second inspection is required.

Over time, the brake lines under the vehicle could corrode.

If this happens, a brake line could fail and leak.

A brake fluid leak can result in reduced braking.

Note: This service campaign replaces service campaign SC044 (Transport Canada recall number 2022-222).

Vehicles that had brake lines replaced under that service campaign don't require this inspection.

Safety Risk: Reduced braking can cause extended stopping distances and increase the risk of a crash.

Corrective Actions: Kia will notify owners by mail and advise you to take your vehicle to a dealership to inspect the brake lines.

The dealer will apply an anti-corrosion treatment and replace the brake lines, if required.
