On Nov. 11, 2020 I took this 2014 Kia Sorento into the local Kia dealer for a follow up on a recall notice I received in the mail. The recall was for an inspection on the hecu unit which controls the ABS system, ESC system, and the tcs system. The dash board indicator lights for the ABS, tcs, and brakes are visible on the dash while driving this vehicle. The mechanic at the dealership performed a draw test on the ABS module and determined everything was ok and no repairs would be needed for this recall (SC197). The vehicle does not appear to be leaking brake fluid into the hecu unit. My concern about this recall is why are the ABS and traction control lights still visible on the dashboard. The recall was on these elements and Kia should have corrected any electronic problem related to this recall. Is the problem electrical on these vehicles other than brake fluid leaking onto the hecu unit that could result in a fire.
