Summary

Kia America, Inc. is recalling approximately 22,768 of its 2009-2014 Borrego vehicles. The headliner plates in these vehicles may not be properly secured, which can cause them to detach if the side curtain airbags deploy during a crash. Owners of these vehicles should contact an authorized Kia dealer to have the headliner plates secured at no cost.

Risk

If the headliner plate detaches during a crash where the side curtain airbags deploy, the metal plate can strike people inside the vehicle, significantly increasing the risk of serious injury.
