The Koreans have announced a recall of more than 250,000 Kia Optima cars produced between 2011 and 2013. It turned out that the cause of the service campaign was the poorly fastened metal plates in the ceiling of the car, which play the role of an energy-absorbing structure. There is therefore a risk of injury in the event of an accident.
So far, the recall is limited to the North American market, where it was initiated following a lawsuit by a Kia Optima owner who sustained a metal element after the side airbag deployed.
The test performed showed that the problem actually occurs. And so the Korean automaker decided to protect car owners from injuries and themselves from reputation and financial problems.
During the service campaign, dealer representatives will rescue car owners from a structurally dangerous defect. Free of course.
Recall that the Korean automaker recently announced in Russia the recall of much more popular cars – the Kia Rio. Owners of more than 105,000 cars of this model are invited to service due to possible problems with airbags.
