Potential Risks Associated with Detached Trim

The problem arises from these trim pieces which may loosen and detach while the vehicle is in motion. Such occurrences pose a serious hazard, not only for the affected vehicle’s occupants but also for other road users. The detachment of window trim can create an unexpected road hazard, significantly increasing the risk of a crash.

Free Fix and Owner Notification

As part of the solution, Kia has assured that dealers will replace the affected c-pillar trim assemblies at no cost to the owners. This recall effort is vital to ensure the safety of all drivers on the road. Kia plans to notify owners beginning September 26.
