Kia vehicle owners are being warned to urgently contact the car company after a dangerous defect was detected.
Two different models, the Kia QL Sportage MY2016-2021 and the CK Stinger MY2017-2019, are at the centre of the recall.
It comes just months after Hyundai recalled 93,000 vehicles over a similar issue. See more in the video above.
