Kia is recalling 2010 Soul and 2011 Sorento vehicles to address a wiring harness that may not have been properly soldered. The recall targets over 35,000 vehicles built between September 7, 2009 and July 30, 2010.

The wiring harness is used for lighting the Soul front-door speakers and Sorento accent trim. The concern is that when the lights are used in certain circumstances, an electrical short can occur and potentially result in fire.

Owners will be contacted this month, and dealers will replace the wiring harnesses free of charge.

This might not apply to RP sold Sorentos or Souls but there's no harm in having your vehicles checked.

Yan ba yung Wiring sa mga ilaw sa gilid nang door nang Sorento? I believe there are owners here having problems with their trim lightings... Yung akin walang ganung lighting...

It's been done for quite a while... just haven't had time to put it up. Have other stuff on my plate at the moment (one's on paper, and the other's multimedia... hehehe...) so I'm pacing with BBC for now...
