## What is wrong

Issue:

On certain vehicles, wear inside the multi\-function switch could cause the headlights to turn off suddenly when the switch is in the AUTO mode.

Safety Risk:

A loss of headlights would reduce visibility and could increase the risk of a crash.

Corrective Actions:

Kia will notify owners by mail and advise you to take your vehicle to a dealership to replace certain parts in the multi\-function switch. To reduce the safety risk, Kia recommends not to use the AUTO mode until the recall repairs have been completed.
