2009 Kia Borrego

The 2009 Kia Borrego has 5 recalls, the most serious involving the brake pedal mount, which can break off in a collision and leave the driver unable to use the foot brake to stop a still-moving vehicle, risking a second impact.

A structural safety concern also exists: headliner plates near the roofline may not be properly secured and can detach when a side curtain airbag deploys, potentially striking an occupant. Two remaining recalls are lower severity. The daytime running lamps are wired in a way that turns off both lights when either turn signal is activated, which conflicts with lighting requirements. There is also a compliance label issue on certain Canadian-market vehicles where tire and rim information appears in English only, without the required French translations, though this does not affect how the vehicle operates.
