A plate that detaches during a crash may strike an occupant, increasing their risk of injury.
The fix
Dealers will secure the headliner plates, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed September 26, 2022. Owners may contact Kia customer service at 1-[removed]. Kia's number for this recall is SC245.
