What NHTSA recorded

Kia America, Inc. (Kia) is recalling certain 2019 Sorento vehicles.

As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 111, "Rear Visibility."

Possible consequence

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

Dealers will inspect the rearview camera and add additional water proofing to the camera harness, or replace the camera as necessary, free of charge.
