Issue
Kia Canada is conducting a Product Improvement Campaign that provides an update to the engine control module to detect potential problems before an engine fails. An engine failure may cause a sudden loss of power with an inability to restart.
Safety risk
A sudden loss of engine power could increase the risk of a crash.
Corrective actions
The company will notify owners by mail. Owners will be instructed to take their vehicle to a dealer to update the software for the engine control module. Note: Vehicles repaired under Service Campaign SC023 already have this software update.

Visit Transport Canada’s Motor Vehicle Safety Recalls Database for the original recall.
