Kia has issued a recall of over 101,000 vehicles due to a potential hazard with the roofs of the vehicles. According to the notice from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), detached roof molding can create a road hazard for other vehicles, increasing the risk of a crash.
The report further mentions that the roof molding of the affected vehicles can become loose or detach while driving, which may have been a result of improper installation during vehicle assembly. The models affected include the Kia Carnival 2022-2024 and the Kia Sportage 2023-2024. Owners can take their vehicles to a dealership to inspect the roof molding and have it replaced or secured free of charge.
