Kia Sorento: Daytime running light and turn signal problems

15/04/2025

Kia is recalling 123,701 vehicles of the Sorento model series manufactured between 2023 and 2024. The reason for the recall is that in low beam mode, the marker light/daytime running light does not light up after the direction indicator has been switched on for longer than 5 minutes.

At an authorised workshop, the software of the PDC (Power Net Domain Controller/main voltage control unit) is updated.

The Kraftfahrt-Bundesamt (KBA) monitors the recall under the reference number “14998R“. The internal manufacturer code is “241232“.
