FMVSS NONCOMPLIANCE RECALL CAMPAIGN
REAR POWER WINDOW OPERATION LOGIC IMPROVEMENT (SC225)
This bulletin provides the procedure to update the software logic for the rear power window operation in the Driver Door Module (DDM) system on certain 2020MY Cadenza (YG) vehicles, produced from April 1, 2020 through October 15, 2020, equipped with the “Technology” Trim Package. The logic that deactivates rear power window operation after the ignition is turned ‘OFF’ and a front door is opened was not applied to the subject vehicles. As a result, the rear power windows can be operated by the driver’s power window main switch even after the ignition has been turned ’OFF’ and a front door is opened. Due to this condition, the subject vehicles do not comply with the operating requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) 118, “Power-Operated Window Systems”. The ability to operate the rear power windows after the ignition switch is turned ‘OFF’ and a front door is opened increases the risk of injury due to accidental or unintentional operation. Follow the procedure outlined in this publication to apply the improved logic to the ‘DDM’ system using the KDS ECU Upgrade function as described in this bulletin. For confirmation that the latest reflash has been applied to a vehicle you are working on, verify the ROM ID using the table on page 2 of this bulletin. Before conducting the procedure, verify the vehicle is included in the list of affected VINs.
NOTICE
There is no charge to the vehicle owner for this repair. Under applicable law, you may not sell or otherwise deliver any affected vehicle until it has been repaired pursuant to the procedures set forth in this bulletin.
ECU Upgrade Procedure:
To correct this condition, the ECU should be reprogrammed using the KDS download, as described in this bulletin.

REAR POWER WINDOWS
NONCOMPLIANCE RECALL CAMPAIGN
Q & A
March 2, 2022
Q1. What type of campaign is Kia conducting?
Kia America, Inc., pursuant to the National Traffic and Motor Vehicle Safety Act, is conducting a Noncompliance Recall Campaign to install the rear power windows operation restriction software to the Driver Door Module on certain 2020 MY Cadenza vehicles.
Q2. What vehicles are affected by the recall?
Certain 2020 MY Cadenza vehicles manufactured from April 1, 2020 through October 15, 2020 with the ‘Technology’ Trim Package.
Q3. How many customer vehicles are affected by this recall?
Approximately 451 vehicles.
Q4. What is the concern with the rear power windows?
The logic that deactivates rear power window operation after the ignition switch is turned off and a front door is opened was not applied to these vehicles. As a result, the rear power windows can be operated by the driver’s power window main switch even after the ignition has been turned off and a front door is opened. Due to this condition, the subject vehicles fail to conform to Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) No. 118, “Power-Operated Window Systems.” The ability to operate the rear power windows after the ignition switch is turned off and a front door is opened increases the risk of injury due to unintentional operation.
Q5. Can you describe the recall campaign and fix?
Kia will install rear power windows operation restriction software to the vehicle’s Driver Door Module. The installation of the software to the Driver Door Module will restrict the operation of the rear power windows via the driver’s power window main switch after the ignition switch is turned off and a front door is opened.
Q6. How will owners of the affected vehicles be notified?
Kia will send a letter notifying owners of the affected vehicles by first class mail beginning on March 8, 2022.

December 7, 2021
Kia North America’s (Kia
NA) Product Quality department issues report describing a customer complaint of rear power window gradually opening without command, while parked and over the course of several hours. Cause of the described issue could not be verified. Kia
NA Product Quality department requests Kia
Corporation (Kia
HQ) investigate issue.
December 16, 2021 January 7, 2022
Kia HQ conducts an investigation and determines the logic that restricts the operability of the rear windows after the ignition is turned off and when a front door is opened was not installed in the model year 2020 Cadenza vehicles with the Technology trim package.
January 10-January 13, 2022
Kia HQ informs Kia
NA Safety Office of its investigation results.
Kia NA further evaluates any potential noncompliance with the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards (FMVSS) and on January 13, 2022 concludes the ability to operate the rear windows via the driver’s master switch after the ignition is turned off and a front door is opened results in the noncompliance with the operability requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 118, §S4(e).
January 13, 2022
Kia NA determines that there is a noncompliance with FMVSS 118 and a recall is mandated by the Safety Act. No fatalities, injuries, crashes or fires.

Kia America, Inc. Corporate Headquarters 111 Peters Canyon Road, Irvine, CA 92606-1790 USA IMPORTANT NONCOMPLIANCE RECALL (NHTSA Recall Number: 22V022) This notice applies to your vehicle: (Insert VIN) March 8, 2022 Dear Kia Cadenza Owner: Kia has identified a defect in your vehicle which relates to a noncompliance with a Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS). This notice is sent to you in accordance with the requirements of the National Traffic and Motor Vehicle Safety Act. Kia America, Inc. has decided certain 2020 MY Cadenza vehicles fail to conform to Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) No. 118, “Power-Operated Window Systems”. The defect can result in the ability to operate the rear power windows after the ignition has been turned off and a front door is opened. The ability to operate the rear power windows after the ignition switch is turned off and a front door is opened increases the risk of injury due to unintentional operation. Our records indicate that you own or lease one of the potentially affected vehicles. What Is the Problem? The logic that deactivates rear power window operation after the ignition switch is turned off and a front door is opened was not applied to your vehicle. As a result, the rear power windows can be operated by the driver’s power window main switch even after the ignition has been turned off and a front door is opened. The ability to operate the rear power windows after the ignition switch is turned off and a front door is opened increases the risk of injury due to unintentional operation. Kia Will Install Rear Power Windows Operation Restriction Software At No Cost To You. Kia will install rear power windows operation restriction software to the Driver Door Module of your vehicle. The installation of the software to the Driver Door Module will restrict the operation of the rear power windows via the driver’s power window main switch after the ignition switch is turned off and a front door is opened. This software will be installed at Kia’s expense 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 install this software will be approximately one (1) hour, depending on your dealer’s schedule.
