Kia is recalling approximately 74,469 Sorentos from the 2024 to 2025 model years due to a software issue that may cause the headlights and taillights to malfunction. The recall, prompted by reports from South Korea, aims to address a potential safety hazard that could increase the risk of accidents. Kia will update the vehicles' Body Domain Control Unit software free of charge at dealerships.
Kia is recalling nearly 75,000 Sorento s because their headlights and taillights may go out. The issue has been traced to a software problem, but no U.S. cases have been reported. Dealers will update the vehicle’s software and owner notifications will go out next month. Blackout packages are all the rage, but Kia appears to have taken things a little too literally. That’s sparking a recall as 74,469 Sorento s could lose their head- and taillights.

Kia North America was tipped off about the issue from their colleagues in South Korea, where the company decided to conduct a recall for the same problem.
