1996 KIA SPORTAGE Recalls — Canada & USA

The 1996 Kia Sportage has two recalls, the more serious being an accelerator pedal that can bind or stick and hold the throttle partially open, making it difficult to slow or stop the vehicle and raising the risk of a crash. A microswitch in the rear hatch lock cylinder can also malfunction and trigger the power door locks to unlock on their own, leaving the vehicle unsecured against unauthorized entry.
