Summary

SC202_DSM - Dealer Service Manager Notice of a Voluntary Service Campaign to replace the accelerator pedal assembly on some 2021 MY Sorento vehicles, produced from September 9, 2020 through December 3, 2020. When the shift lever is in the P (Park) position, a higher than expected idle RPM condition may occur due to a mispositioned internal component in the pedal assembly. However, if this condition occurs, brake pedal application reduces the RPM to idle. If this condition occurs while driving, application of the brake pedal will activate the vehicle's Smart Pedal logic and reduce the RPM to idle. Replacement of the accelerator pedal assembly will correct this condition.

Owners of these vehicles have filed 145 complaints in the transmission category.
