SEOUL – The head of South Korea's second-largest automaker, Kia Motors, has resigned to take responsibility for mass vehicle recalls caused by defective electrical wiring, the company said Tuesday.

Chung Sung-Eun, who is also a vice chairman of the Hyundai-Kia Automotive Group, stepped down after Kia had to issue a global recall of 85,900 vehicles, spokesman Michael Choo told AFP.

The four models involved are the Soul, Sorento and Borrego sport utility vehicles, and the Cadenza sedan.

In China a Kia Motors joint venture, Dongfeng Yueda Kia Motor Co., on Monday separately recalled 18,147 Sorento, Borrego and Soul models.

Yonhap news agency reported that Chung was sacked by group chairman Chung Mong-Koo.

Hindi rin kaya ito ang dahilan kung bakit di pa nagdaratingan mga orders ng Sorento nung mga nag order 3 months ago pa?

Liit lang naman ng recall nila its not Toyota in scale and size...

Anyone care to guess how many Sorentos are running around in the Philippines?

Their sales aren't Toyota's in scale and size either.
