Kia America, Inc. is recalling approximately 28,065 vehicles, specifically certain 2016 Sedona and Sorento models. These vehicles may contain faulty automatic transmission shift lever components that can prevent the gear shifter from locking properly. This defect can allow the vehicle to roll away even if it appears to be in park, and dealers will inspect and replace the necessary components free of charge.
If the shift lever does not lock, the vehicle can roll away unexpectedly while parked. This significantly increases the risk of a crash, property damage, and serious injury to the driver, passengers, or bystanders.
