Kia recalls nearly 8,000 Sorrento models over incorrectly machined brakes



2011 kia sorento 450x300 Kia recalls nearly 8,000 Sorrento models over incorrectly machined brakes
According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, certain 2011 Kia Sorento models were fitted with rear brake calipers that were improperly machined.
Says NHTSA: “As a result, brake fluid will leak, followed by illumination of the malfunction indicator light indicating the brake fluid level is low and should be checked, then a soft or spongy brake pedal feel, and if not serviced, reduced braking power which could increase the risk of a crash.”
Naturally, the owner’s preferred Kia dealership will inspect and replace the rear calipers if necessary at no charge. For more information, check out the official statement from NHTSA after the break.
