Kia America, Inc. is recalling approximately 11,327 of its 2020-2022 Niro EV vehicles because the circuit board for the rearview camera may become damaged, preventing the camera image from displaying. This failure means the vehicles do not comply with federal safety standards for rear visibility. To fix the issue, Kia dealers will replace the rearview camera in affected vehicles at no cost to the owner.
A rearview camera image that does not display significantly reduces the driver's visibility of the area behind the vehicle when reversing. This increases the risk of a crash with pedestrians or other objects.
