Known issues on the 2022 Sorento. Six recalls are on federal record for this model year. The mounting clips for the rearview camera may break, and a rearview camera that does not properly display an image can reduce the driver's rear view. The oil supply pipe to the turbocharger may crack, which could result in an oil leak in the engine compartment in the presence of an ignition source such as hot engine or exhaust components. The heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) blower motor wiring harness may be inadequate, which can result in a fire, and a fire increases the risk of injury. A separate recall covers vehicles equipped with a tow hitch harness, where a fire while parked or driving can increase the risk of injury. Some vehicles may be equipped with an incorrect spare tire which, when installed, can impair the anti-lock braking system, and impaired anti-lock braking or traction control systems can increase the risk of a crash. Finally, the automatic transmission's fail-safe limited-mobility drive mode may be impaired, and loss of drive power increases the risk of a crash. Owners have filed 271 complaints for the year and Kia has issued 104 technical service bulletins.

From tracing the blower motor wiring circuit to inspecting the turbocharger oil supply pipe or servicing any of the four available powertrains, it keeps you on the OEM procedure and the correct specification for your specific 2022 Sorento.
