Known issues on the 2018 Niro. Two recalls are on federal record for this model year. The first sits in the automatic transmission: fluid may leak into the printed circuit board inside the hydraulic clutch actuator, and the stated hazard is a fire, which increases the risk of injury; the recall covers certain 2017-2022 Niro and 2018-2022 Niro Plug-in Hybrid vehicles. The second concerns the hybrid propulsion system on certain 2017-2018 Niro hybrid electric vehicles previously recalled under recall 18V-666 — the Main Relay within the Power Relay Assembly is the component at issue, and overheated rear seats increase the risk of a fire. Owners have filed 78 complaints for the year and Kia has issued 46 technical service bulletins. The factory diagnostic and repair procedures behind each of those systems are here.
From a hybrid-system warning light to a transmission fluid leak check or a routine service interval, it keeps you on the OEM procedure and the correct specification for your specific 2018 Niro.
Kia Motors America (Kia) is recalling certain 2017-2018 Kia Niro hybrid electric vehicles. The Main Relay within the Power Relay Assembly (PRA) may have inadequate connections between its contacts, causing increased electrical resistance.
Consequence
The increased electrical resistance can overheat the rear seat which is above the PRA, increasing the risk of a fire.
Remedy
Kia will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the Power Relay Assembly (PRA) for damage. If no damage is found, the main relay will be replaced. If damage is found, the PRA will be replaced. These repairs will be performed free of charge. The recall began November 23, 2018. Owners may contact Kia customer service at 1-800-333-4542. Kia's number for this recall is SC168.
