2022–2023 Kia Sorento Rearview Camera Mounting Clips May Fail

Kia is recalling certain 2022–2023 Sorento models because rearview camera mounting clips may break, preventing the camera image from displaying. This reduces rear visibility and increases crash risk.

What this means for you

Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.

Our severity reasoning: This recall meets the High (3) criterion: 'risk-of-harm products where injury has not yet been reported.' The rearview camera failure creates a crash risk due to reduced rear visibility, but the source text does not report any actual injuries, fatalities, or crashes.

Plain-English summary

Kia America, Inc. is recalling certain 2022 and 2023 Sorento, Sorento Hybrid, and Sorento PHEV vehicles. The mounting clips for the rearview camera may break, causing the camera image not to display properly on the vehicle's dashboard display.

When the rearview camera fails to display, the driver loses the rear visibility assistance it provides. This reduces the driver's ability to see behind the vehicle when backing up or driving in reverse, increasing the risk of a collision. The affected vehicles fail to comply with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 111, which requires proper rear visibility.

This recall affects approximately 144,979 vehicles. Owners should contact their local Kia dealer to schedule a free inspection and replacement of the rearview camera housing if necessary. Kia began mailing owner notification letters in October 2023. Owners can also call Kia customer service at 1-800-333-4542 or the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153) for more information.
