Kia rack-Mounted Motor Driven Power Steering (R-MDPS) system lacks the ability to diagnose communication faults.
The short version
Kia Motors America reported a problem with the lane keep steering assist. Here is what owners need to know.
The Rack-Mounted Motor Driven Power Steering (R-MDPS) system lacks the ability to diagnose communication faults. If a communication fault occurs while driving around a curve with Lane Following Assist (LFA) engaged, the steering assist level may not adjust properly, causing a sudden increase in the steering effort required.
A sudden increase in steering effort can increase the risk of a crash.
Take it to a dealer — they will update the R-MDPS software, free of charge.
