Kia air Bag Control Unit (ACU) cover may contact a memory chip on the printed circuit board and damage the electrical circuit.
The short version
Kia Motors America reported a problem with the air bags. Here is what owners need to know.
The Air Bag Control Unit (ACU) cover may contact a memory chip on the printed circuit board and damage the electrical circuit. Circuit damage may result in deactivated air bags that will not deploy in a crash.
Air bags that do not deploy as intended can increase the risk of injury in a crash.
Take it to a dealer — they will inspect the ACU, and either update the software or replace the unit, as necessary, free of charge.
