On a small number of vehicles, the bolt connecting the lower steering column universal joint may not have been properly tightened. If the bolt loosens, you could lose steering control.
A loss of steering control could create a risk of a crash.
Kia will notify owners by mail and instruct you to bring your vehicle to a dealership to inspect and tighten the lower steering column universal joint bolt, as necessary.
On certain vehicles, the brake master cylinder could fail and cause reduced braking. If this happens, the driver may experience increased brake pedal travel and a change in brake pedal feel (soft or low pedal).
Reduced brake performance can cause extended stopping distances and increase the risk of a crash.
Kia will notify owners by mail and instruct you to take your vehicle to a dealer to replace the brake master cylinder.
