Issue

Issue:
On certain vehicles, a bracket for the folding rear seats can damage the wiring for the rear seat heater. If this happens, the wiring could short circuit.
Note: This recall only affects vehicles equipped with fold-and-dive rear seats with the seat heater option.

Safety Risk:
A short circuit could create a fire risk, even while the vehicle is parked and turned off.

Corrective Action:
Kia will notify owners by mail and instruct you to take your vehicle to a dealership to reinforce the rear seat heater wire harness. Kia advises that you may continue to drive your vehicle, but that you should park it outside and away from structures until the recall repairs are completed.
