What is being recalled
Kia America, Inc. (Kia) is recalling certain 2025 K5 vehicles. A software error in the Power-net Domain Controller (PDC) may cause the parking lights to flicker. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) 108, "Lamps, Reflective Devices, and Associated Equipment."
Why it is dangerous
Parking lights that fail to illuminate properly can reduce visibility, increasing the risk of a crash.
The fix (free at any franchised dealer)
The PDC software will be updated by a dealer or through an over-the-air (OTA) update, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed June 24, 2025. Owners may contact Kia customer service at 1-800-333-4542. Kia's number for this recall is SC341.
Recall repairs are always free, regardless of vehicle age or where you bought the car. Quote the campaign number 25V-351 when calling a dealer.
