Vehicles Affected: Approximately 7,900 model-year 2016 Kia Sorento SUVs
The Problem: A component of the rear suspension may not be properly welded and may break, affecting the rear suspension alignment and thereby increasing the risk of a crash.
The Fix: Dealers will inspect the welds at the rear suspension cross-member, replacing the rear cross-member assembly, as necessary, for free.
