Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

Kia America, Inc. is recalling approximately 50,517 model year 2023 Sorento vehicles because the air bag warning labels on the driver and front passenger sun visors may peel off or detach. This defect means the vehicles do not comply with federal safety standards for occupant crash protection. Kia dealers will inspect the sun visors and replace them if necessary at no cost to the owner.

Risk

If the warning labels detach, occupants will not be informed of the specific risks and safety precautions regarding air bag deployment, which increases the danger of injury during a crash.

What You Should Do

  1. Check your vehicle's sun visors on both the driver and front passenger sides to see if the air bag warning labels are peeling, loose, or missing.
  2. Contact a local Kia dealership to schedule a free inspection and, if necessary, a replacement of the affected sun visors.
  3. You may contact Kia customer service at 1-800-333-4542 and reference recall number SC277 for more information.
  4. For additional questions, contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153) or visit www.nhtsa.gov.
