Kia America, Inc. is recalling approximately 51,568 Carnival vehicles from the 2022 and 2023 model years because the power sliding doors may not automatically reverse when they encounter an obstruction. This defect means the doors could continue closing even if a person or object is in the way, which has led to a safety risk. Dealers will provide a free software update for the power sliding door control module to ensure the safety feature works correctly in all situations.
The power sliding door's safety sensor may fail to detect an occupant, causing the door to close on a person rather than reversing. This creates a significant risk of impact or crushing injuries to passengers entering or exiting the vehicle.
