What Happened
Your K900's LED headlights are controlled by a multi-function switch. In some 2015-2016 models, this switch could build up electrical resistance while driving, making your headlights flicker or turn off.
Risk if Unfixed
If your headlights fail, it's harder to see the road ahead, which increases the risk of a crash. You may struggle to see pedestrians, other cars, or obstacles, especially at night or in low-light conditions.
Free Fix
Your Kia dealer will replace the faulty switch with a new one, and the repair is free. You should schedule the repair as soon as you get the recall notice.
