Kia Australia has recalled 292 examples of the Seltos, as the small SUV’s side curtain airbags could inflate without being triggered by a crash.
“Due to a manufacturing defect, the side curtain airbag may inflate without warning,” the carmaker said in its recall notice.
“Inadvertent inflation of the airbag may lead to driver distraction and increase the risk of injury or death to vehicle occupants.”
- A total of 292 vehicles built in 2023 are affected
- The Vehicle Identification Number list is attached here
- The original recall notice is attached here
If you own an affected Seltos, you’ll need to schedule an appointment with an authorised Kia dealership to have the curtain airbags inspected and replaced, free of charge.
If you have any further questions, you can contact Kia’s customer service hotline on 13 15 42.
