Alfa Romeo 8C Spider at Geneva

Kia investigates steering issue on the Soul

Kia Motors America and its suppliers are reviewing their manufacturing processes to track down what caused one driver to lose all steering ability in a two-month-old 2010 Kia Soul.

The investigation could affect more than 51,000 Kia Soul vehicles, NHTSA said.
