VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL Safety Recalls

Under Review #05V329000 Plain English
Component

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL:CABLES

Manufacturer
KIA MOTORS AMERICA, INC.
What Happened
Your vehicle's throttle cable has a problem that can cause it to freeze in cold weather, making it hard to control the acceleration. This can happen unexpectedly and can lead to a crash.
Risk if Unfixed
If the throttle cable gets stuck, your vehicle may keep accelerating or maintain speed even when you take your foot off the gas pedal, which can cause a crash without warning.
Free Fix
The dealership will add a protective sleeve around the throttle cable to prevent it from freezing, and this repair is completely free. You can also contact Kia at 1-800-333-4542 to schedule a service appointment.
