Body, Interior & Misc.
A person inside the trunk compartment may become trapped, increasing their risk of injury.
The inside of the trunk has a manual release handle that allows a person who somehow becomes locked inside the trunk to be released. This function may become disabled due to a concern with the trunk latch, which can trap the person in the trunk, increasing their risk of injury.
You must contact and visit a Kia dealership to perform recall repairs on your Kia vehicle. The schedule for Kia to initially contact known owners of affected vehicles was during October, 2023. If you do not receive a notification, but wish to check to see if your vehicle is included, please contact one of your local Kia dealerships. They will also check for any other incomplete recalls on your vehicle. For best results, be prepared to provide your Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) to the service department consultant you speak with. The Kia recall designation is SC278.
