What is wrong

On certain vehicles, the side curtain airbag(s) may not have been manufactured properly. As a result, the side curtain airbag(s) could inflate without a crash.

Why it matters

A side curtain airbag that inflates suddenly without a crash could create a risk of injury.

What the dealer will do

Kia will notify owners by mail and advise you to take your vehicle to a dealership to inspect and, if necessary, replace the left and/or right-side curtain airbag module(s).
