Kia America, Inc. is recalling 215 of its 2023 Forte vehicles because the right front lower control arm may have been improperly welded during manufacturing. This defect can cause the control arm to fail, which may lead to a sudden loss of steering control while driving. Kia dealers will replace the affected right front lower control arm with a new, properly welded part free of charge.
If the control arm fails, the driver may suddenly lose the ability to steer the vehicle, significantly increasing the risk of a crash. Because this is a critical safety issue, owners are advised not to drive their vehicles until the repair has been performed.
