Received an email from Carfax today (I have a "garage" set up with them) that for my '21 EX Premium there is a new recall "SC342 REARVIEW CAMERA", that no remedy is available yet, and they will email me again when additional information about repairs is available to Carfax. Kia's website shows no outstanding recalls for the car. Anyone know what this is about?

​

It wouldn't be the first time Carfax has jumped the gun on a recall notification. Patience.

 

I received the same notice from Carfax. Would not say they "jumped the gun". If I were having trouble with the rearview camera (I'm not) I would probably be interested in knowing there is a pending Service Action even if the repair procedure has not been finalized.

 

This may add some clarification:

Thanks, this is what I was looking for.

 

Interesting they only list the EV. I'm sure the HEV/PHEV use the same hardware, so surprising they didn't include all models.

 

There're voltage surges in the system and only the camera circuit board gets burnt out? I have a 2021 premium which has a bigger screen than the basic version iirc, extra load when the screen switches over to the camera? Maybe?
My car only has 16.5k miles but with many short trips, knock on wood, the camera on ours works fine. If they have an upgraded circuit board I guess it would make sense to go through the hassle for down the road peace of mind or if it ain't broke.................
