What is being recalled
Kia Motors America (Kia) is recalling certain 2015-2017 Sedona vehicles. The Smart Junction Box (SJB) software logic may not properly interpret the signals received from the multifunction switch, which could cause the turn signal to activate in the opposite direction of what the driver intended.
Why it is dangerous
A turn signal activating in the opposite direction of what was intended by the driver increases the risk of a crash.
The fix (free at any franchised dealer)
Dealers will update the SJB software, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed November 12, 2021. Owners may contact Kia customer service at 1-800-333-4542. Kia's number for this recall is SC217.
Recall repairs are always free, regardless of vehicle age or where you bought the car. Quote the campaign number 21V-725 when calling a dealer.
