Kia America, Inc. is recalling 31,943 model year 2023 Telluride vehicles because a manufacturing error may have damaged the wire harnesses for the second-row seat side air bags. This defect can prevent the air bags from deploying during a crash, significantly increasing the risk of injury to passengers. Owners should take their vehicle to a Kia dealer, where technicians will inspect and either replace or secure the air bag wire harnesses free of charge.
If the wire harnesses are damaged, the second-row side air bags will fail to deploy as intended during a collision. This failure removes critical occupant protection, leaving passengers in the second row vulnerable to impact injuries.
Inspection and replacement or securing of air bag wire harnesses.
