Kia America, Inc. is recalling 8 vehicles, specifically certain 2023 Niro EV and 2024 EV9 models. The differential gear bolts in the gear drive unit may not have been tightened properly during manufacturing, which can lead to a sudden loss of drive power. Owners should take their vehicle to a Kia dealer to have the gear drive unit replaced entirely, free of charge.
If the gear bolts loosen, the differential can lock up or cause the vehicle to lose power while driving, which significantly increases the risk of a crash.
Free replacement of the gear drive unit.
