2019 KIA SOUL Recalls — Canada & USA

The 2019 Kia Soul has two recalls, both affecting the electric Soul EV: one where the high-voltage battery can short-circuit while driving and start a fire, and one where a damaged parking mechanism can allow the vehicle to roll even with the shifter in Park. Both recalls are exclusive to the Soul EV model. The battery short-circuit risk exists while the vehicle is in motion, with no warning before a fire can develop. The parking concern arises when the electric parking brake is not engaged: a worn or damaged internal mechanism inside the transmission may fail to hold the vehicle in place, allowing it to move unexpectedly on any grade.
