Kia America is recalling approximately 2,967 of its 2023 Soul and 2024 Seltos vehicles due to a manufacturing error that can cause safety systems to malfunction. The side curtain air bags in these specific vehicles may deploy unexpectedly without a crash occurring. Dealers will inspect the vehicle and replace both the driver and passenger side curtain air bag modules if necessary at no cost to owners.
If a side curtain air bag inflates suddenly and unexpectedly while driving, it can startle the driver or obstruct their vision, significantly increasing the risk of a crash or causing direct injury to occupants.
