Kia Recalling 500K Vehicles

Last updated on Sunday, June 10, 2018

(UNDATED) - Kia Motors is recalling over half-a-million vehicles after it was discovered that an electronic glitch may prevent air bags from deploying.

The recall affects 2010 through 2013 Fortes, 2011 through 2013 Optimas, 2011 and 2012 Optima Hybrids, and Sedonas.

This is the latest recall that stems from an investigation by the National Highway Transportation Safety Administration, which is investigating four deaths where the air bags failed to deploy in Kia and Hyundai vehicles.

In total, over one-million vehicles have been recalled since the investigation was announced in March and Kia says it does not yet have a fix.
