Kia when a trailer is connected to the vehicle, the trailer brake lights will not illuminate when the SCC applies the brakes.
The short version
Kia Motors America reported a problem with the forward collision avoidance adaptive cruise control. Here is what owners need to know.
When a trailer is connected to the vehicle, the trailer brake lights will not illuminate when the SCC applies the brakes. 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."
Inoperative trailer brake lights can fail to warn other drivers that the vehicle is slowing, increasing the risk of a crash.
Kia will notify owners, and dealers will install an additional wire harness to the main fuse box to signal the trailer brake lights, free of charge.
