I’m scared to drive my Kia recently because I heard there was some kind of safety recall. Was there a Kia Sorento rear wheel speed sensor recall?

Answer provided by

Yes, for 2011-2015 Kia Sorentos, there is a wheel speed sensor recall. This voluntary service campaign is to inspect, clean, repair, or replace the rear wheel speed sensor on two-wheel-drive vehicles in some coastal states.

Once the manufacturer discovered that seawater could interrupt the sensor’s ability to relay information to the instrument cluster, they issued a Kia Sorento rear wheel speed sensor recall in 2017. Note that there have been no accidents or injuries due to this.

To find out if you were affected, it’s best to contact your dealer or use your VIN number to look it up. The dealer should take care of the inspection and repairs if your Kia is covered by this recall.

To prolong the life of your vehicle, it’s important to pay close attention to recalls such as this one. It’s also critical to maintain car insurance coverage. Jerry can help you make sure that your policy is up to date. You might even find a better rate by using the Jerry app!
