Kia Sorento, Carnival: Danger of rolling away

02/01/2023

Worldwide, 71,400 Kia Sorento and Carnival vehicles with automatic transmission manufactured between April and July 2015 are being recalled to the workshop. The reason for the measure is a possible rolling away caused by moving the gear lever into the park position without pressing the foot brake pedal. In Germany, 630 vehicles are affected.

The selector lever lock will be checked in the workshop and replaced if necessary. The recall is running under the internal designation “221103”.
