What Happened
The brake-shift interlock mechanism in your Sorento is a safety feature that prevents you from shifting out of 'Park' without pressing the brake pedal. In some 2011-2013 models, this mechanism can break if you apply too much force to the gear shift lever.
Risk if Unfixed
If the brake-shift interlock fails, you might accidentally shift your vehicle out of 'Park' without pressing the brake pedal. This means your car could roll away, potentially leading to a crash.
Free Fix
Your Kia dealer will replace the faulty brake-shift interlock mechanism with a new one at no cost to you. You should schedule the repair as soon as you receive the recall notice.
