What This Recall Means

Component

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK/TRACTION CONTROL/ELECTRONIC LIMITED SLIP:CONTROL UNIT/MODULE

What Happened
The Hydraulic Electronic Control Unit (HECU) is the brain of your vehicle's anti-lock braking system. It's a computer that helps your brakes work smoothly. In certain 2014-2018 Kia models, this unit can fail and cause an electrical short.
Risk if Unfixed
If the HECU fails, it could spark a fire in your engine compartment. This could happen while you're parked or driving, and could lead to serious injury.

How to Get This Fixed

Free Fix
Your Kia dealer will replace a fuse for the HECU circuit board, which will prevent a potential fire. This repair is free, and you should schedule it as soon as possible after receiving the recall notice.
