Kia is recalling more than 80,000 electric and hybrid vehicles in the United States because of improper airbag and seat belt deployment, the U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration said on Saturday.
The affected vehicles are the Kia Niro from 2023-2025, Niro EV from 2023-2025 and the Niro plug-in hybrid from 2023-2025.
According to the NHTSA, the floor wiring assembly beneath the front passenger seat may become damaged, which can then prevent front airbags and seat belts from deploying properly.
