Transport Canada recall 2020064 · manufacturer campaign RC130

19 February 2020

Transport Canada lists: Sedona 2006–2010 · Sorento 2007–2009

What is wrong

On certain vehicles, moisture can enter the brake Hydraulic Electronic Control Unit (HECU) and cause a short circuit.

Why it matters

A short circuit could create a fire risk. This can happen even if the vehicle is parked.

What the dealer will do

Kia will notify owners by mail and instruct you to take your vehicle to a dealer to install a relay to power off the HECU when the vehicle is turned off. Kia recommends that you should park your vehicle outdoors, and away from other vehicles or structures until the recall repairs have been completed.

Transport Canada recall 2016274 · manufacturer campaign RC103

2 June 2016

Transport Canada lists: Sedona 2006–2014

What is wrong

On certain vehicles, the secondary hood latch could corrode, and may result in the mechanical binding of the latch. This could cause the secondary hood latch to remain in the open position when the hood is closed. If the vehicle were to be driven with the primary hood latch disengaged, there is a potential that the secondary hood latch may not hold the hood closed as designed while the vehicle is in motion. If this were to occur, it could compromise the driver’s ability to see the road and its users, as well as cause damage to the windshield. These issues could result in a crash causing injury and/or property damage.

What the dealer will do

Dealers will replace the secondary latch with an improved secondary latch with an enhanced corrosion coating.

Transport Canada lists: Sedona 2006–2012

What is wrong

On certain vehicles, road salt can corrode the front control arms, which may ultimately lead to control arm failure. This could result in a loss of vehicle control, increasing the risk of a crash causing injury and/or property damage.

What the dealer will do

For 2006-2007 model year vehicles, dealers will replace the front lower control arms if they were not previously replaced under recall 2013-388. For 2008-2012 model year vehicles, dealers will inspect the control arms and either apply an anticorrosion treatment or replace the control arms, as necessary. Note: This recall supersedes recall 2013-388.
