20/06/2023

Kia is recalling 7,120 Niro and Soul models of the 2020 model year back to the workshop worldwide. The reason for the measure is a coolant leak in the electrical power control unit, which can lead to a loss of driveability.

In the workshop, the EPCU is checked for internal leakage according to the CTI and replaced if leakage is confirmed. The KBA is monitoring the recall under the reference number “012754” and the manufacturer’s internal code is “231008“.
