Kia America is recalling approximately 101,049 vehicles, specifically certain 2023-2024 Sportage and 2022-2024 Carnival models. The roof molding on these vehicles may become loose and completely detach while driving. Kia dealers will inspect the roof molding and either secure it or replace it entirely at no cost to the owner. Kia began mailing notification letters to owners on March 15, 2024.
If the roof molding detaches while the vehicle is in motion, it can fall onto the roadway and become a hazard for other drivers. This increases the risk of a crash or collision for following vehicles trying to avoid the debris.
