IMPORTANT SAFETY RECALL
(NHTSA Recall Number: 19V539)
This notice applies to your vehicle: (Insert VIN)
August 27, 2019
Kia has identified a defect in your vehicle which relates to motor vehicle safety
This notice is sent to you in accordance with the requirements of the National Traffic and Motor Vehicle Safety Act. Kia Motors has decided that a defect which relates to motor vehicle safety exists in certain 2019 MY Kia Optima vehicles. The defect may cause the braking assist function to not work properly when the Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist (“FCA”) System senses a potential frontal collision with a stationary vehicle. The inability of the braking assist function to work properly may not reduce the risk of impact in a potential frontal collision, increasing the risk of injury.
What Is The Problem?
The Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist (“FCA”) is a supplemental system designed to detect and monitor the vehicle ahead in the roadway through radar signals and camera recognition to warn the driver that a collision is imminent, and if necessary, apply emergency braking. However, due to an error in the FCA’s software, the braking assist function may not engage when a stationary vehicle is detected, increasing the risk of a crash.
Kia will update the FCA software at no cost to you.
Kia has advised its authorized dealers to update the FCA software so that the braking assist functions properly when a potential frontal collision on a stationary vehicle is sensed. The work will be done at no cost to you.
What Should You Do?
- In the interest of the safety of your passengers, as well as your own safety, please immediately contact your Kia dealer to arrange for the recall repair to be conducted. The estimated time required to inspect and perform necessary repairs will be approximately one (1) hour. However, your vehicle may be needed longer; therefore, we recommend scheduling a service appointment to minimize any inconvenience.
