The short version

Kia Motors America reported a problem with the brake lights switch. Here is what owners need to know.

WHAT

In the affected vehicles, the brake light switch may intermittently fail.

WHY IT MATTERS

WHAT TO DO

Kia will notify owners, and dealers will replace the brake light switch, free of charge.
