Kia America, Inc. is recalling approximately 2,401 of its 2024 EV9 vehicles because the interior headliner may not provide enough protection during a crash. Specifically, the impact-absorbing plates mounted on the headliner do not meet federal safety standards for occupant protection. Kia dealers will replace these plates with improved components at no cost to owners to ensure the vehicle provides the required level of interior impact safety.
If a crash occurs, a headliner with insufficient impact-absorbing material increases the risk of head injuries for passengers because the interior surfaces will not properly cushion the force of the impact.
