Kia is recalling certain 2023 Sorento vehicles due to air bag warning labels that may detach, failing to warn occupants of air bag deployment risks during crashes.
A detached air bag warning label will not warn occupants about the risks of air bag deployment, increasing the risk of injury in a crash.
Kia is recalling some 2023 Sorento vehicles because the air bag warning labels on the driver and front passenger sun visors might detach. This means occupants won't be warned about air bag deployment risks in a crash, potentially increasing injury risk.
The air bag warning labels on the sun visors may detach during normal use. If they detach, occupants won't receive warnings about air bag deployment risks in a crash, which could lead to injury.
Owners of 2023 Kia Sorento vehicles with detachable air bag warning labels on the driver and front passenger sun visors are affected. Drivers and front passenger occupants are most at risk during crashes.

Dealers will inspect and replace the driver and front passenger sun visors, as necessary, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed October 10, 2023. Owners may contact Kia customer service at 1-800-333-4542. Kia's number for this recall is SC277.
