What This Recall Means

Component

POWER TRAIN:DRIVELINE:DRIVESHAFT

What Happened
In your Sorento, the intermediate shaft is like a long rod that connects your transmission to your wheels. But in certain 2011 models, this shaft can wear out quickly because of a slight misalignment.
Risk if Unfixed
If this misalignment is not fixed, your transmission could start to fail, causing the vehicle to lose power and increasing the risk of a crash.

How to Get This Fixed

Free Fix
Your Kia dealer will replace the damaged intermediate shaft and right side output gear with new ones, free of charge. You should schedule the repair as soon as you receive the recall notice.
