What is being recalled

Kia America, Inc. (Kia) is recalling certain 2022-2023 Sorento, Sorento Hybrid, and Sorento Plug-in Hybrid (PHEV) vehicles. The mounting clips for the rearview camera may break, which can cause the rearview camera image not to appear properly on the display. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 111, "Rear Visibility."

Why it is dangerous

A rearview camera that does not properly display an image can reduce the driver's rear view, increasing the risk of a crash.

The fix (free at any franchised dealer)

Dealers will inspect and replace the rearview camera housing, as necessary, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed October 27, 2023. Owners may contact Kia customer service at 1-800-333-4542. Kia's number for this recall is SC280.

Recall repairs are always free, regardless of vehicle age or where you bought the car. Quote the campaign number 23V-610 when calling a dealer.
