Kia India recalls over 30,000 units of Carens for software update

Korean auto major Kia India Monday said it is voluntarily recalling some units of its multi-purpose vehicle Carens for a software update.

The affected vehicles include those manufactured between September 2022 and February 2023. “As a responsible corporate, the company conducts regular checks and rigorous testing of components, governed by Kia's global standard. The company has initiated the recall campaign for vehicle inspection and, if required, a free-of-cost software update”, Kia India said in a statement.

The recall process would involve 30,297 units of MPV Carens sold by the company. The company added, “The recall campaign has been initiated to inspect any potential error in the cluster booting process that may cause the cluster to go blank. During this campaign, the company will take utmost care to minimise inconvenience to customers throughout this campaign.”


Kia India will directly reach out to the owners of the concerned vehicles to update them about this voluntary recall campaign. Customers of the affected vehicles would be required to contact their respective Kia Authorized dealers to schedule an appointment.
