What This Recall Means

Component

SEAT BELTS:FRONT:BUCKLE ASSEMBLY

What Happened
Your vehicle's front seat belt buckle might make a false 'click' sound when you buckle up, which can trick you into thinking it's latched.
Risk if Unfixed
If you drive with a false latch, the buckle could come undone when you're in a crash, leaving you or a passenger unrestrained.

How to Get This Fixed

Free Fix
You should take your vehicle to a Kia dealership, where they will replace both of your front seat belt buckles at no cost to you.

Affected Vehicles
