The hazard
Issue: On certain vehicles, brake fluid can enter the brake Hydraulic Electronic Control Unit (HECU) and cause a short circuit. Note: This recall replaces RC138 (Transport Canada recall 2020-405). Vehicles that were repaired under that recall also require this repair. Safety Risk: A short circuit could create a fire risk. Corrective Actions: Kia will notify owners by mail and instruct you to take your vehicle to a dealer to have the HECU inspected and replaced if necessary. The dealer will also replace the ABS multi-fuse. Kia recommends that you should park your vehicle outdoors, and away from other vehicles or structures until the recall repairs have been completed.
