2010 Soul and 2011 Sorento Recalling
Kia recalling around 24,000 2010 Soul subcompacts and around 11,200 2011 Sorento crossovers, all built from September 7, 2009 through July 30, 2010, due to a potential fault with the vehicles’ electrical system.
In a letter to the National Highway Transportation Safety Administration (NHTSA), Kia said a limited number of wiring harnesses supplied by JCI and used in the Soul’s lighting speaker system, located in the front door trim panels, and the Sorento’s interior accent illumination, placed in the front and rear door trim panels, may have been improperly soldered.
Even though there are no reports of accidents or injuries, the safety agency said under certain conditions, an electrical short may occur and result in a fire.
Kia’s dealers will replace the wiring harnesses for the lights on both vehicles, free of charge with the recall expected to begin later this month.
