Known issues on the 2009 Borrego. Two recalls are on federal record for this model year. The first covers the hydraulic brake pedal and its linkage on 2009 Borregos manufactured from May 2, 2008 through January 20, 2009 and equipped with non-adjustable brake pedals; where the condition occurs, the driver would need to stop the vehicle with the parking brake. The second covers the brake light switch and was issued across several Kia models, among them the Rondo, Sedona, Sorento, Sportage, Soul and Optima; its consequence is failure to illuminate the stop lamps during braking, or inability to disengage the cruise control. Owners have filed 136 complaints for the year and Kia has issued 19 technical service bulletins.

Whether you are inspecting a brake pedal mount, tracing a stop lamp circuit that stays dark, or working through a scheduled service on the V8 or the V6, it keeps you on Kia's own procedure and the correct specification for your specific 2009 Borrego.
