The short version

Kia Motors America reported a problem with the exterior lighting headlights. Here is what owners need to know.

WHAT

The headlights may not have been manufactured with the correct low beam aiming. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 108, "Lamps, Reflective Devices, and Associated Equipment."

WHY IT MATTERS

If the headlights are not properly aimed, the driver may have reduced visibility, increasing the risk of a crash.

WHAT TO DO

Kia will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the headlight aiming and replace the headlights, as necessary, free of charge.
