Losing the panel is dangerous because a driver will lose the speedometer, tire pressure warning light and multiple other lights and gauges.
Kia says the problem occurs when the instrument cluster units enter overheat protection mode and cause the panels to go blank from electrical noise.
Kia instrument panel display recall letters will be mailed March 26, 2026. Kia will update the panel display software over-the-air or dealerships can do it.
