Kia front passenger seat belt retractor cover may not be secured properly, which can cause the front passenger seat belt automatic locking retractor (ALR) and emergency locking retractor (ELR) to not operate as intended.
The short version
Kia America, Inc. reported a problem with the front retractor. Here is what owners need to know.
The front passenger seat belt retractor cover may not be secured properly, which can cause the front passenger seat belt automatic locking retractor (ALR) and emergency locking retractor (ELR) to not operate as intended. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard numbers 208, "Occupant Crash Protection" and 209, "Seat Belt Assemblies."
A seat belt retractor that does not operate as intended increases the risk of injury in a crash.
Take it to a dealer — they will replace the front passenger seat belt assembly, free of charge.
