Issue:

On certain vehicles, an abnormal sensor signal to the Integrated Electronic Brake \(IEB\) system could cause a sudden reduction in braking performance. If this happens, a brake warning light will turn on in the instrument cluster.

Reduced brake performance can cause extended stopping distances and increase the risk of a crash.

Kia will notify owners by mail and instruct you to take your vehicle to a dealer to update the Integrated Electronic Brake \(IEB\) system software.
