What is wrong
Kia America, Inc. (Kia) is recalling certain 2023 Sorento vehicles. The air bag warning labels on the driver and front passenger sun visors may detach. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 208, "Occupant Crash Protection."
The risk
A detached air bag warning label will not warn occupants about the risks of air bag deployment, increasing the risk of injury in a crash.
The fix
Dealers will inspect and replace the driver and front passenger sun visors, as necessary, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed October 10, 2023. Owners may contact Kia customer service at 1-[removed]. Kia's number for this recall is SC277.
Notes from the manufacturer
