Kia Canada is conducting a Product Improvement Campaign that provides an update to the engine control module to detect potential problems before an engine fails. An engine failure may cause a sudden loss of power with an inability to restart.

A sudden loss of engine power could increase the risk of a crash.

Corrective Actions:

The company will notify owners by mail. Owners will be instructed to take their vehicle to a dealer to update the software for the engine control module.
