| Mfg's Report Date | MAR 10, 2021 |
| Component | AIR BAGS: AIR BAG/RESTRAINT CONTROL MODULE |
| Number of Units Affected | 142 |
| Summary | Kia Motors America (Kia) is recalling certain 2021 Telluride, K5, and Forte vehicles. The Occupant Classification and Detection System (OCS/ODS) unit may not detect the presence of a child restraint system in the front passenger seat. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 208, "Occupant Crash Protection." |
| Consequence | In the event of a crash, deployment of the front passenger air bag, with a child in that seat, can increase the risk of injury to the child. |
| Remedy | Kia will notify owners, and dealers will replace the OCS/ODS unit, free of charge. The recall began March 18, 2021. Owners may contact Kia customer service at 1-800-333-4542. Kia's number for this recall is SC207. |
