What Happened
The rear brake caliper in your Sorento is a critical part that helps your vehicle stop safely. In some 2011 models made between September 14 and October 4, 2010, the caliper may not have been machined correctly.
Risk if Unfixed
If the brake caliper isn't working right, brake fluid will leak out, and the brake light will turn on, warning you to check the level. If you don't get it fixed, you might feel a soft or spongy brake pedal, which could reduce your ability to stop quickly and increase the risk of a crash.
Free Fix
Your Kia dealer will inspect the rear caliper and replace it if needed, free of charge. You should schedule the repair as soon as possible after getting the recall notice.
