Recall Alert: 2011 Kia Sportage
Vehicles Affected: Approximately 7,700 model-year 2011 Kia Sportage SUVs manufactured between March 7 and June 8, 2011
The Problem: The brake-light switch may intermittently fail and the brake lights will not illuminate. This reduces the ability to warn other motorists that the vehicle is slowing, increasing the risk of a crash.
The Fix: Dealers will replace the brake-light switch for free.
What Owners Should Do: Kia will begin notifying owners this month. Owners can call the automaker at 800-333-4542 or the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration’s vehicle-safety hotline at 888-327-4236, or go to www.safercar.gov, for more information.
