If this happens, the vehicle could suddenly lose power to the wheels. rnrnSafety Risk: rnA sudden loss of power to the wheels may increase the risk of a crash. rnrnCorrective Action: rnKia will notify owners by mail and instruct you to take your vehicle to a dealership to inspect the EPCU for internal coolant leaks. If a leak is detected, the dealer will replace the EPCU.
