When the multi-function light switch is in “auto” mode, electrical resistance may build in the switch and result in the headlights flickering or turning off while the car is in operation.
“Loss of headlight illumination may reduce visibility and increase the risk of a crash,” NHTSA said on its website.
Kia dealers will replace the multi-function switch, free of charge, to fix the problem. The recall is expected to begin May 27.
Vehicle owners can reach Kia customer service at (800) 333-4542. Kia's number for this recall is SC130.
Distracted driving remains one of the most persistent risks in fleet operations. New approaches focus on removing mobile device use entirely while adding real-time safety support.
As distraction risks evolve, fleets are turning to smarter, more connected technologies to better understand what’s happening behind the wheel. Part 2 explores how these tools are helping identify risky behaviors and improve visibility across operations.
Distracted driving is often measured by what we can see—phones in hand, eyes off the road. But what about the distractions we can’t? A recent incident raises a bigger question about awareness, attention, and why subtle risks so often go unnoticed.
Fleets have more driver data than ever, so why isn't behavior changing? Training requires more than reports and coaching — it requires real-world practice.
A two-part conversation with Stefan Heck on how AI is transforming the fight against distracted driving. As fleets adopt smarter tools, the focus shifts from reacting to preventing risk. In Part 1, we look at where AI is making an impact for fleets today.
An 11% drop in pedestrian fatalities in early 2025 signals progress in U.S. road safety, but elevated death rates and ongoing risks underscore the need for continued action from fleets and policymakers.
