Kia is recalling nearly 74,500 examples of its Sorento, Sorento Hybrid and Sorento Plug-in Hybrid SUVs due to a software issue related to their headlights and taillights.

Affected vehicles include model-year 2024-25 Sorento and model-year 2025 Sorento Hybrid and Sorento Plug-in Hybrid SUVs. The issue lies in the body domain control unit software, which may cause the loss of low-beam headlights and taillights. Driving without functioning headlights or taillights can reduce visibility, increasing the risk of a crash.

To resolve the issue, dealers will update the body domain control unit software for free. Kia will notify all affected owners Feb. 21, but those with further issues can contact Kia at 800-333-4542 (Kia’s number for this recall is SC331), the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration’s vehicle-safety hotline at 888-327-4236, or visit its website to check your vehicle identification number and learn more.
