WHY IS KIA ISSUING A RECALL?
Kia has issued a recall because Kia is recalling certain vehicles because the vehicle could lose its power brakes and that could lead to an accident.
WHAT VEHICLES ARE BEING RECALLED BY KIA?

WHY ARE KIA SPORTAGES BEING RECALLED?
The company announced that the Kia Sportage SUV's are being recalled because the brake booster diaphragms could become misaligned and that could lead to the loss of power brakes. The brake pedal becomes very difficult to push down when the brake booster fails.

Kia stated that they have received 73 complaints of hard brake pedals due to brake booster failures between March 24, 2022, and May 5, 2023. There were no reports of crashes or injuries due to the brake issue.
IF PART OF THE RECALL, HOW DO I GET MY SPORTAGE FIXED?
Recall letters concerning the brake issue will be mailed to owners of the affected cars on July 21. You can also contact KIA at 800-333-4542 and ask about brake booster recall number SC272. They will give you the information you need to get the issue corrected.
