Kia due to a software error, the instrument panel screen may fail.
The short version
Kia America, Inc. reported a problem with the trailer hitches. Here is what owners need to know.
Due to a software error, the instrument panel screen may fail. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 101, "Controls and Displays."
An instrument panel screen that fails to display critical safety information, such as the speedometer or warning lights, can increase the risk of a crash.
Take it to a dealer — they will replace the tow hitch harness control module, free of charge.
