Kia Australia has issued a recall for 6155 examples of the 2024 model-year Carnival and Carnival Hybrid (HEV), due to a potentially defective wiring harness that could cause a loss of power steering.
“Due to a manufacturing defect, the main wiring harness may come in contact with the steering column shaft and become damaged. This may result in the loss of power assisted steering,” the company says in its recall notice.
“A loss of power steering assist whilst driving increases the risk of an accident, causing serious injury or death to vehicle occupants and other road users.”
