Kia Motors America (Kia) is recalling certain 2017 Niro vehicles. The affected vehicles may have a damaged Motor Driven Power Steering (MDPS) connector resulting in a loss of electric power steering assistance.

Risk: Loss of power steering assist would require higher steering effort, especially at lower speeds, which may increase the risk of a crash.
