<a href="http://www.autoblog.com/photos/review-2011-kia-sorento/"><img hspace="0" vspace="4" border="0" align="right" src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.autoblog.com/media/2010/09/03kiasorentoreview2011-1274385727.jpg" alt="2011 Kia Sorento" class="right border" /></a>The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has announced a recall on two <a href="http://autoblog.com/make/kia">Kia</a> vehicles - the <a href="http://autoblog.com/model/soul">2010 Soul</a> and <a href="http://autoblog.com/model/sorento">2011 Sorento</a> - to replace interior lighting wiring harnesses. These faulty units, supplied by JCI, can apparently cause an electrical short resulting in a fire. This recall affects 35,185 vehicles manufactured between September 7, 2009 and July 30, 2010.<br />
<br />
In the Soul, the wiring harnesses in question are located in the front doors and control the funky accent illumination in the speakers. The Sorento has similar problems, but these wires power the lighting in both the front and rear door trim panels.<br />
<br />
The full recall is expected to begin within the coming weeks and dealers will inspect and fix the faulty wiring harnesses free of charge. Hit the jump for the full information from NHTSA.<br />
