What Happened
The multi-function light switch in your K900 controls your headlights, turn signals, and other exterior lights. In some 2015-2016 models, this switch can malfunction, causing your headlights to flicker or turn off while driving.
Risk if Unfixed
If the switch fails, your headlights might not shine as brightly, making it harder to see the road. This could increase the risk of a crash, especially at night or in low-visibility conditions.
Free Fix
Your Kia dealer will replace the faulty switch with a new one at no cost to you. You should schedule the repair as soon as possible once you receive the recall notice.
