Kia America, Inc. is recalling approximately 1,243 vehicles, including certain 2023-2024 Niro EV and 2023 EV6 models. A drive shaft in these electric vehicles may have been improperly heat-treated during manufacturing, which can cause the component to break while under load. If the drive shaft breaks, the vehicle will experience an immediate loss of drive power, and dealers will replace the affected drive shaft with a new one free of charge.
A broken drive shaft leads to a sudden loss of propulsion while driving, which significantly increases the risk of a crash, especially at higher speeds or in heavy traffic.
