What This Recall Means

Component

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:ALTERNATOR/GENERATOR/REGULATOR

What Happened
Your Sedona's alternator is like a power generator that keeps your battery charged. In some 2020 models, the nut that holds the positive terminal might not have been tightened properly.
Risk if Unfixed
If the nut comes loose, electrical sparks could fly, causing a fire. This is a serious safety risk, especially when driving.

How to Get This Fixed

Free Fix
Your Kia dealer will check the alternator's terminal nut and tighten it if it's loose. This repair is free, so you should schedule it as soon as possible when you receive the recall notice.
