Kia’s Russian office announced another recall – this time owners of Sorento crossovers are invited to the services of official dealers. But the reason is not critical: the manufacturer only struggles with shocks and vibrations.
The new service campaign includes 5,455 Kia Sorento crossovers sold by official dealers in 2021 and 2022. It turned out that the owners of such mass cars complained of jerks when shifting gears, as well as vibrations when moving off or accelerating.
The issue is addressed by updating the transmission control module software, which is performed as part of the recall. All work, of course, is carried out for free: the owner of a potentially “nervous” crossover just needs to find time to go to the dealer.
We add that owners of recallable Kia Sorento do not have to wait at all for a call from a car dealer. On the Rosstandart website, they can independently check whether their car is covered by the service promotion. In addition, the Russians have recently been informed by state services about the need for such work – the AvtoVzglyad portal talked about this in more detail.
