NHTSA recall 19V109000
Electrical System · Kia America, Inc.
Details
What's wrong: Affects vehicles equipped with manually-adjusted front passenger seats. Over time, the occupant detection system (ods) wiring harness located underneath the front passenger seat may break from the seat being occupied.
Why it matters: If a child is in a child seat in the front seat, a broken ods wiring harness will not prevent the front passenger air bag from deploying in the event of a crash, increasing the risk of injury to the child.
The fix: Kia will notify owners, and dealers will remove the wire harness clip to prevent the wiring harness from breaking. If the harness is found damaged, the front passenger seat cushion will be replaced. These repairs will be performed free of charge. The recall began March 19, 2019.
