The South Korean brand sent dealers instructions to suspend sales of Russian Seltos SUVs. The ban applies not only to new sales, but also to already paid cars.

According to the Kia Seltos Club Russia forum, citing its own sources, the reason for the suspension of sales was problems with the steering wheel, which does not block when the ignition is turned off.-

The ban touched four trim levels: Classic, Comfort, Luxe and Style. The top versions of Prestige, Premium and Premium + were not affected by the indication, since they are equipped with a keyless start system.

According to the forum, crossovers have ceased to sell since June 11, and sales should start again next month. In the near future, Kia dealerships will receive spare parts for troubleshooting, as well as the South Korean brand will issue a service bulletin or announce a recall.
