The 2008-2009 Kia Sportage is being recalled to address an electrical issue. The recall affects approximately 71,700 units in the U.S., and in the affected vehicles, improper sealing of a wire harness cover used for the hydraulic electronic control unit (HECU) can allow moisture to enter the module. If the water is contaminated with salt, it can result in an electrical short. “If the HECU circuit board experiences a short circuit, a thermal event can result, including the possibility of an engine compartment fire,” warned the recall. “However, the presence of salt water in the HECU does not affect brake performance.” SEE ALSO: 2017 Kia Sportage Review The Korean aut…
