Kia is recalling certain Sorento SUVs because of an issue with the rearview camera that can increase the risk of a crash.
The recall covers nearly 145,000 vehicles, according to a notice submitted to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
The automaker says mounting clips on the rearview camera may break unexpectedly. A broken clip can cause the camera image not to appear properly on the car's video display, which can can reduce the driver's rear view and increase the risk of a crash.
The recall covers 2022-2023 Sorento, Sorento Hybrid, and Sorento Plug-in Hybrids manufactured between September 2021 and July 31 of this year.
The company said it plans to notify Sorento owners of the recall in late October.
Owners can take their vehicle to a Kia dealership and have the camera housing replaced for free.
