## What is wrong

Issue:

On certain electric vehicles, the electric power control unit \(EPCU\) may not be sealed correctly. As a result, coolant could leak inside the EPCU and onto the circuit board. If this happens, the vehicle could suddenly lose power to the wheels.

Safety Risk:

A sudden loss of power to the wheels may increase the risk of a crash.

Corrective Action:

Kia will notify owners by mail and instruct you to take your vehicle to a dealership to inspect the EPCU for internal coolant leaks. If a leak is detected, the dealer will replace the EPCU.
