Steering Pinion Gear Problems Lead to Another Soul Recall
Soul and Soul EV vehicles can suffer a complete loss of steering after the steering pinion gear separates. Over 256,000 Kia Soul cars are recalled to fix problems that can cause a complete loss of steering. The recalled cars include the 2014-2016 Kia Soul and Soul EV that have weak adhesive used to secure the steering pinion gear to the steering gear assembly.
This isn’t the first time Kia has issued a recall for this problem. That’s soul annoying.
