Popular Kia family and electric SUV models recalled
2025 Kia Sorento
Kia has recalled 5978 examples of its Sorento model sold between 2023 and 2024 and 4551 examples of its electric EV6 model sold between 2021 and 2024 over a software defect.
A recall notice published by the Australian government’s vehicle recall regulator reads: “due to a software issue, the turn indicator light and/or the upper part of the Daytime Running Lights (DRL) may not operate as intended. This may result in reduced visibility.”
In extreme cases, the recall notice said reduced visibility may increase the risk of an accident causing injury or death to vehicle occupants and other road users.

Owners can also check if their vehicle is impacted by looking up its VIN number on the Vehicle Recalls website.
