What This Recall Means

Component

STEERING:COLUMN

What Happened
The steering column in your Kia Rio or Forte is the long rod that connects your steering wheel to the wheels. In some 2021-2022 models, a critical bolt that holds this column together might not be tightened properly, which can make it come loose while driving.
Risk if Unfixed
If the steering column detaches, you'll lose control of your vehicle's direction, which could make it harder to steer and increase the risk of a crash.

How to Get This Fixed

Free Fix
Your Kia dealer will tighten the bolt that holds the steering column in place, free of charge. This repair is necessary to ensure your safety on the road, and you should schedule it as soon as you get the recall notice.
