In a limited production of these vehicles, a small number of headlamp connectors may lose electrical contact with a low beam bulb in one of the headlamp assemblies. This condition on the affected headlamp does not affect the other low beam. Also, the high beams continue to function at all times.","document":{"url":"https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/tsbs/2017/MC-10109870-9999.pdf","alternate_url":"https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/tsbs/2017/MC-10109870-0001.pdf","confirmed":false},"url":"https://open.wenmarpro.com/bulletins/10109870","components":[{"id":"electrical","name":"Electrical system","parent":null},{"id":"lighting","name":"Lighting","parent":null},{"id":"headlight","name":"Headlights","parent":"lighting"}],"codes":[],"topics":[],"vehicles":[{"make":"KIA","model":"SORENTO","year_from":2011,"year_to":2012,"match":"exact","vehicle_ids":["2011_kia_sorento","2012_kia_sorento"]}],"as_of":"2026-10-19","note":"A bulletin is a manufacturer's communication to its dealers, as NHTSA indexes it.
