2011 Kia Borrego Recall

On certain vehicles, the compliance label may be missing information in French. The words listed on the label for "Tires", "Rims", "Front" and "Rear" appear in English only, when they should be listed as "Tires/Pneus", "Rims/Jantes", "Front/Avant" and "Rear/Arriere". Canadian regulations require this information to be listed on the label in both English and French.

These small errors do not affect vehicle safety.

This is not a recall. Kia has corrected the compliance label for all new vehicles.

On certain vehicles, plate(s) in the headliner could detach and hit an occupant if the side curtain airbags deploy in a crash.

Headliner plate(s) that hit an occupant could create a risk of injury.

Kia will notify owners by mail and advise you to take your vehicle to a dealership to add adhesive tape to secure the plates to the headliner.

On certain vehicles, the brake hydraulic electronic control unit (HECU) could short circuit.

A short circuit could create a fire risk, even while the vehicle is parked and turned off.

Kia will notify owners by mail and advise you to take your vehicle to a dealership to replace the fuse(s) for the HECU. Kia recommends that you should park your vehicle outdoors and away from other vehicles or structures until the recall repairs have been completed.

On certain vehicles, the stop lamp switch may fail and cause intermittent operation of the brake lights. Failure of the brake lights to illuminate when the brake pedal is depressed could result in a crash causing property damage and/or personal injury. Correction: Dealers will replace the switch. Note: This is an expansion of recall 2013-098.

A failure of this component (electrical) may increase the risk of a crash or injury.

Authorized dealerships will inspect the vehicle and complete all necessary repairs free of charge (parts and labor).
