Kia America, Inc. is recalling approximately 188,912 of its 2021-2023 K5 vehicles because the side curtain air bags may have been installed incorrectly. This defect can prevent the air bags from deploying properly during a crash, which significantly reduces the safety protections designed for the vehicle's occupants. Kia dealers will inspect the air bags and reinstall them correctly if necessary, free of charge.
If the side curtain air bags are not installed properly, they may fail to deploy as intended during a side-impact collision. This failure increases the risk of serious head or upper body injuries to occupants during a crash.
Inspection and reinstallation of side curtain air bags.
