## What is wrong

Kia Motor America \(Kia\) is recalling certain 2022 EV6 vehicles.  A software error in the Shifter Control Unit \(SCU\) may disengage the parking mechanism, which can allow the vehicle to rollaway.

## The remedy

Drivers are recommended to park their vehicles on level ground and avoid parking on a slope/inclined surface whenever possible until the remedy has been performed.  Dealers will update the Shifter Control Unit software, free of charge.  Owner notification letters were mailed May 25, 2022.  Owners may contact Kia customer service at 1\-800\-333\-4542.
