Problem overview

Some Kia Cadenza owners report experiencing issues with windshield seals, leading to water leakage during heavy rain. This has prompted a recall of approximately 30,000 vehicles from the 2014-2016 model years to address the windshield bonding problem. Reports indicate at least 24 customer complaints and 256 warranty claims related to loose windshields, highlighting a significant concern. The inadequate adhesion of the windshield poses a safety risk, as it could potentially cause the glass to detach while driving, leading to accidents and injuries. Owners of affected Kia Cadenza models are advised to have their windshields inspected to ensure proper bonding and sealing to prevent further issues.
