Kia America, Inc. has recalled 82,281 vehicles due to parking lights that may flicker.

This can reduce visibility and increase the risk of a crash, according to a notice from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA).

“A software error in the Power-net Domain Controller (PDC) may cause the parking lights to flicker,” the release reads.

The PDC software will soon be updated to remedy the issue by a dealer or through an over-the-air (OTA) update, free of charge, according to the company.

Owner notification letters are expected to be mailed June 24, 2025.
