Issue
Certain vehicles may be equipped with an accessory trailer wiring harness kit that could fail. Over time, this could result in a short circuit that can cause the control module to overheat.
Safety Risk
A short circuit could create a fire risk, even while the vehicle is parked and turned off.
Corrective Actions
Kia will notify owners by mail and instruct you to inspect if your vehicle has a trailer wiring harness installed. If it does, Kia advises that you should park your vehicle outdoors, and away from other vehicles or structures until the recall repairs have been completed. As an extra level of protection, you or your dealer can also remove the "TRAILER" fuse in the under-hood fuse box. The corrective actions for this recall are under development.
