Vehicles Affected: Approximately 135 model-year 2017 Kia Niro SUVs

The Problem: A damaged motor-driving power-steering connector could result in a loss of electric power steering assistance, requiring greater steering effort by the driver, especially at lower speeds, increasing the risk of a crash.

The Fix: Dealers will replace the motor-driving power-steering connector motor for free.

What Owners Should Do: Kia will begin notifying owners April 7. Owners can call the automaker at 800-333-4542, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration’s vehicle-safety hotline at 888-327-4236 or go to www.safercar.gov to check their vehicle identification number and learn more.
