Recalls: Kia CV EV6

2021-22 Kia CV EV6: parking pawl could fail and vehicle could roll away

In June 2022, recall campaign 221058 was issued for 2021-22 Kia CV EV6 vehicles. Due to a software issue with the Shift Control Unit (SCU), the parking pawl may fail. The parking pawl was fitted to the automatic transmission and responsible for locking up the transmission when the gearshift lever was put into ‘Park’. As a result, the vehicle could move or roll away whilst ‘Park’ was selected – this posed a risk to other and possible damage to property. For this recall, a Kia dealer was to update the SCU software. For the VINs of the recalled vehicles, please see REC-005455.
