Recall 03V158000: ABS Module Reprogramming



DEFECT: On certain passenger vehicles, there was a programming error in the anti-lock braking system (ABS) electronic control module logic. The programming error could reduce braking force at speeds below 25 mph, which could result in increased stopping distances. Such increased stopping distances could result in a crash.


REMEDY: Dealers will reprogram the control module. The manufacturer has not yet provided an owner notification schedule for this campaign. Owners may contact Kia at 1-800-222-5500.
