CanadaKia is recalling 2023–2025 SPORTAGE SUVs in Canada equipped with a 4.2‑inch screen and a Genuine Kia tow hitch harness because the tow hitch harness control module software could cause the instrument cluster to reboot while driving, preventing display of the speedometer, warnings and tell‑tales and increasing crash risk. Kia will notify owners by mail and advise taking the vehicle to a dealership to inspect and, if necessary, replace the tow hitch harness control module.
