Kia Carens recalled over digital instrument cluster glitch

30,297 units of the Carens manufactured between September 2022 and February 2023 are affected.

Kia has recalled the Carens MPV in India over a potential software glitch that might affect the digital instrument cluster booting sequence. 

According to Kia, 30,297 units of the Carens manufactured between September 2022 and February 2023 could be affected by this issue. The carmaker will reach out to owners of the affected vehicles to notify them about the recall. 

It is said that the instrument cluster in the affected cars may go blank due to the software error. As part of the recall campaign, these vehicles will be inspected and receive a software update to fix the issue.

This is not the first time that the Carens MPV has been recalled. Around 44,174 units were recalled to fix a potential issue with the airbag control unit software in October last year.
