Kia recalls 377K SUVs that can shift out of park, Kia is recalling 377,000 of its Sorento crossover SUVs because the transmission can shift out of the "park" position on its own.
The recall applies to 2011 to 2013 Sorentos, according to documents filed with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
The filing says if excessive force is applied to the gear shift lever, the brake-shift interlock mechanism may chip or crack. If that happens, the transmission can shift out of the park position on its own without the brakes being applied.
Kia is going to notify owners to bring in their SUVs to have the brake-shift interlock mechanism replaced.
