Kia Motors is recalling 23,972 2010 Kia Soul as well as 11,213 2011 Kia Sorento vehicles over inadequate designation of an ambient lighting complement in those vehicles, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.

The Soul’s orator lights — which have been customary apparatus upon a Soul Exclaim as well as Soul Sport as well as discretionary on a Soul Plus — as well as a Sorento’s optional accent lighting in a front as well as back doorway trim panels on a EX trim might have been improperly soldered. When the lights have been bright in sure conditions, an electrical short may start as well as cause the glow.

Owners will be notified this month. Kia dealerships will replace a electric wires harnesses for the lighting systems free of charge. Owners can hit Kia during 800-333-4542 or a National Highway Safety Administration during 888-327-4236.
