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, a part in the trunk release latch could fail. If this happens, the emergency trunk release located inside the trunk compartment may not work properly. This could prevent a person that is trapped inside the trunk from opening it.
If a person is closed inside the trunk compartment, they may not be able to get out. This could create a risk of injury.
Kia will notify owners by mail and advise you to take your vehicle to a dealership to replace the trunk latch base subassembly.
