AIR BAGS:FRONTAL:SENSOR/CONTROL MODULE-INACTIVE
What Happened
The front passenger air bag in your Sorento is designed to turn off when a child or small adult is in the seat. But in some cases, it might think an adult is a child and turn off the air bag when it shouldn't.
Risk if Unfixed
If the air bag turns off and you're in a frontal collision, you won't have the protection of the passenger air bag, which could increase your risk of injury.
Free Fix
Your Kia dealer will update the computer system controlling the passenger air bag, free of charge. This will ensure the air bag turns on when it's supposed to. Schedule the repair as soon as you get the recall notice.
