2018 KIA SPORTAGE Recalls — Canada & USA

The 2018 Kia Sportage has 2 recalls, both involving the same serious concern: a brake system control module that can short-circuit and start a fire in the engine compartment while the vehicle is parked or in motion. The hydraulic electronic control unit, which manages the anti-lock brake system, contains an electrical circuit that can fail and generate enough heat to ignite a fire. This risk exists whether the vehicle is running or sitting still.
