## What is wrong

Issue:

On certain vehicles, a software problem could cause the headlamps and tail lamps to turn off. As a result, the vehicles don't meet certain requirements of Canadian regulations.

Note: For the 2025 model year Sorento, this recall also affects hybrid and plug\-in hybrid \(PHEV\) models.

Safety Risk:

Headlamps and tail lamps that don't work properly cause reduced visibility and make the vehicle less visible to others. Both issues 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 update the body domain control unit software.
