The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration stated that during manufacturing the front windshield may not have been properly bonded to the vehicle, allowing it to detach and increase the risk of a crash or injury.
Notification letters are expected to be sent out by May 13, 2022. Owners may contact Kia at 1-800-333-4542, or NHTSA at 1-888-327-4236.

Remedy
When inspected by a dealer, the windshield may be removed and reinstalled, if necessary. Repairs will be at no charge.
