What is being recalled

Kia America, Inc. (Kia) is recalling certain 2022 Niro EV vehicles. The high voltage battery safety plug may overheat and melt, which can cause a loss of drive power or fire.

Why it is dangerous

A loss of drive power increases the risk of a crash, and a fire increases the risk of injury.
