Known issues on the 2017 Sportage. Four recalls are on federal record for this model year. Two involve the trailer hitches: in the first, if the trailer brake lights stay illuminated while being used, other drivers may be confused; in a later campaign covering vehicles equipped with a tow hitch, a fire while parked or driving can increase the risk of injury. A third recall covers the gasoline fuel delivery hoses, lines and fittings on vehicles that previously received an engine replacement under recall number 17V-224 — a fuel leak in the presence of an ignition source can increase the risk of a fire. The fourth concerns the hydraulic antilock service brakes: the electrical circuit in the Hydraulic Electronic Control Unit (HECU) may short-circuit, which can cause a fire, and an engine compartment fire can increase the risk of injury. Owners have filed 540 complaints for the year and Kia has issued 130 technical service bulletins. The factory diagnostic and repair procedures behind each of those systems are here.

Whether you are tracing a fault behind the trailer brake lights, inspecting the fuel lines after an engine replacement, or working through a routine service on the 2.0L turbo, it keeps you on Kia's own procedure and the correct specification for your 2017 Sportage.
