NHTSA (USA)High Risk
At a glance
What can fail
The front passenger seat sensor mat can develop fatigue cracks. If cracking becomes severe, the occupant detection system stops working and cannot sense a child passenger, causing the airbag to deploy in a crash.
What the fix does
Kia dealers will replace the seat sensor mat at no cost. Contact Kia Consumer Assistance at 1-800-333-4542 to schedule service.
