NHTSA's recall notice

As NHTSA's recall record states it for campaign 21V725000.

Defect description

Kia Motors America (Kia) is recalling certain 2015-2017 Sedona vehicles. The Smart Junction Box (SJB) software logic may not properly interpret the signals received from the multifunction switch, which could cause the turn signal to activate in the opposite direction of what the driver intended.

Safety consequence

A turn signal activating in the opposite direction of what was intended by the driver increases the risk of a crash.

Manufacturer remedy

Dealers will update the SJB software, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed November 12, 2021. Owners may contact Kia customer service at 1-800-333-4542. Kia's number for this recall is SC217.
