\"Recall<\/a>
\nKia will recall more than 419,000 SUVs in the U.S. and Canada because the transmission can be shifted out of park when the driver’s foot isn’t on the brake, a violation of safety laws.<\/p>\n

The recall covers Sorentos from the 2011 through 2013 model years.
\nThe cars can roll away unexpectedly and cause a crash, Kia says in documents posted Thursday by the U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.<\/p>\n

The problem happens when the gear shift lever is pushed too hard, causing a part in the shift mechanism to crack. It has caused three injuries.<\/p>\n

Kia says it began investigating the trouble in August when it got a letter from a lawyer saying that a child moved a Sorento shift lever out of park and the SUV rolled in a parking lot. The child’s father stood in front of the SUV and was joined by his son. The son got between the Sorento and a stopped vehicle and suffered a broken leg, according to the documents.<\/p>\n

Kia then began investigating and found 54 warranty claims. It decided to recall the SUVs on September 28.<\/p>\n

Dealers will replace the brake-shift interlock mechanism with improved parts. Owners will be notified starting November 24.<\/p>\n

Kia said owners should always apply the parking brake firmly and make sure the shift lever is securely in park before leaving the vehicles.
