CARS.COM
Vehicles Affected: Approximately 1,400 model-year 2016 Kia Sorento SUVs manufactured between March 3 and March 21, 2016
The Problem: The driver’s seatback frame may have been produced with inadequate weld joints. As a result, the seatback frame could break and fail to restrain an occupant in the event of a rear-end collision, increasing the risk of injury.
The Fix: Dealers will inspect the welds and replace the driver seatback frame for free.
What Owners Should Do: Kia will begin notifying owners Dec. 9. Owners can call the automaker at 800-333-4542, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration’s vehicle-safety hotline at 888-327-4236 or go to www.safercar.gov for more info.
