Service bulletin SC202_DSM

A bulletin is a manufacturer's communication to its dealers, as NHTSA indexes it. The summary is NHTSA's. The document is the manufacturer's: read it at NHTSA. A bulletin is not a recall, and listing a model year does not mean every vehicle of it is concerned.

NHTSA's summary

SC202_DSM - Dealer Service Manager Notice of a Voluntary Service Campaign to replace the accelerator pedal assembly on some 2021 MY Sorento vehicles, produced from September 9, 2020 through December 3, 2020. When the shift lever is in the P (Park) position, a higher than expected idle RPM condition may occur due to a mispositioned internal component in the pedal assembly. However, if this condition occurs, brake pedal application reduces the RPM to idle. If this condition occurs while driving, application of the brake pedal will activate the vehicle's Smart Pedal logic and reduce the RPM to idle. Replacement of the accelerator pedal assembly will correct this condition.
