NHTSA said on its website some wiring harnesses supplied by JCI and used for the lighting in the Soul’s advanced lighting speakers, located in the front door trim panels, and the Sorento’s interior accent illumination, located in the front and rear door trim panels, may have been improperly soldered.

When the lights are illuminated under certain conditions, an electrical short may occur that can result in a fire.

Dealers will replace the wiring harnesses in a recall campaign scheduled to start this month.
