After filing the original report, I learned additional details from the Kia dealership that serviced my vehicle. The service department stated that they have seen the same electronic parking brake controller and actuator failure on multiple Kia Niro vehicles from model years 2018\u20132021. They reported that these failures were not covered under warranty for those years, even when the symptoms began during the warranty period.  The dealer also explained that Kia made design improvements to the electronic parking brake system in later model years and expanded warranty coverage for the updated EPB assembly and control components. This suggests that Kia was aware of recurring issues with the earlier design, despite no formal recall or service campaign being issued for the affected 2018\u20132021 vehicles.  I am submitting this supplemental information because it indicates a potential pattern of safety\u2011related failures involving the electronic parking brake system across multiple vehicles and model years. These failures affect the vehicle\u2019s ability to hold position when parked and may interact with braking and stability control systems.\u201d","products":[{"type":"Vehicle","productYear":"2020","productMake":"KIA","productModel":"NIRO","manufacturer":"Kia America, Inc."}]}]}
