EVENT_SUMMARY
Your vehicle's brake pedal stopper pad might be wearing out, which can cause the brake lights to stay on even when the pedal is released, and also let you shift gears without pressing the brake pedal.
RISK_ASSESSMENT
If this happens, your brake lights might stay on, which can confuse other drivers about when you're slowing or stopping. You might also be able to shift gears without pressing the brake pedal, which can lead to a crash.
RESOLUTION_PROTOCOL
Kia will replace the brake pedal stopper pad for free at a dealership, starting on January 30, 2018. You'll get a notification when it's time for the repair, and you can also contact Kia at 1-800-333-4542 to ask about the recall.
