Kia Joins Recall Race, Pulls Out 10k Cars
Airbags are considered as safety equipment but the front air bags have turned out to be quite dangerous for children in real world conditions. New cars now have a sensor that will turn off the front air bag if the weight of the occupant is below a said weight. The NHTSA has found this device to be missing in the Ki9a Sorento built between 2007 and 2008.
Following this disclosure, Kia was asked to recall 10,631 Sorentos. Kia will be informing owners about the fault and the recalled cars will be rectified soon.
This is not a major recall in the US. All major carmakers have recalled millions of cars after the NHTSA recommended changes. The biggest affected company is Toyota whose reputation took a huge hit following several reports of fatal accidents of Toyota as well as Lexus branded vehicles.
