2019 KIA SPORTAGE Exterior Lighting Problems, Complaints and Defects

Issue ID	1545156
Internal NHTSA #	11185704
Manufacurer	Kia Motors America
Brand	KIA
Model	SPORTAGE
Model Year	2019
File date	09/03/19
Component	EXTERIOR LIGHTING
Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	Rear turn signals of the vehicle are below the lowest point of the lift gate, are mounted inside the bumper, and are recessed in the bumper. When turn signals are used, only the turn blinkers in the bumper blink while the traditional rear brake lamps are solid and do not indicate a turn. The turn signals are too low for following vehicles to see and because they are recessed, the housing gets packed with snow, slush and dirt, making the activated signals indistinguishable. All 2019 kia sportages have this poorly engineered feature, which may be as outside compliance as an early 70s malibu, and no turn signals in the brake light assembly.

A recall is when a product is removed from the market or a correction is made to the product because it is either defective or potentially harmful.
What is Failure?
Failure is the state or condition of not meeting a desirable or intended objective, and may be viewed as the opposite of success. Product failure ranges from failure to sell the product to fracture of the product, in the worst cases leading to personal injury, the province of forensic engineering.
