Kia Motors to recall 6,500 Soul hatchbacks to fix steering wheel issue
Nov 22, 2015
Kia Motors Corp., South Korea's second-largest automaker, will recall over 6,500 Soul box-type cars due to a problem in the steering system that could cause excessive noise and possible loss of steering, the transportation ministry said Sunday. According to the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport, a bolt securing the pinion gear to the steering gear may become loose due to improper application of adhesives during the manufacturers' assembly process, possibly causing loss of steering.
