Known issues on the 2015 Soul EV. Two recalls are on federal record for this model year. The first covers the high-voltage traction battery: on vehicles equipped with an E400 battery, the pack may experience an electrical short-circuit while driving, and a battery electrical short-circuit increases the risk of a fire. The second covers the gear position mechanism: the parking mechanism may become damaged, and unintended vehicle movement can increase the risk of a crash. Owners have filed 7 complaints for the year and Kia has issued 65 technical service bulletins. The factory diagnostic and repair procedures behind each of those systems are here.
From a high-voltage battery inspection to verifying the shifter and parking mechanism or a scheduled service interval, it keeps you on Kia's own procedure and the correct specification for your specific 2015 Soul EV.
