Kia America, Inc. is recalling approximately 76,918 of its 2023 Sportage vehicles because the side curtain air bags may have been installed incorrectly. During the manufacturing process, these air bags may have been twisted, which can prevent them from deploying properly during a crash. Owners of these vehicles should contact a Kia dealer to have their air bags inspected and reinstalled correctly at no cost.
A twisted air bag may not inflate as intended during a collision, failing to provide the necessary protection for occupants. This improper deployment significantly increases the risk of injury during a crash.
Free dealer inspection and reinstallation of side curtain air bags.
