Kia recalling 80,000 vehicles

CNN -  Kia America is recalling more than 80,000 vehicles due to improper wiring that can prevent airbags and seat belts from deploying in an emergency. The recall includes 2023-2025 Niro EV, Plug-in Hybrid and Hybrid vehicles. To remedy the situation, dealers will replace and reroute the floor wiring assembly, as necessary, for free. Owners will be notified by letters mailed in March. The recall follows one in November, when Hyundai and Kia recalled more than 200,000 electric vehicles to fix a transistor in a charging control unit that could be damaged and cause the loss of drive power, increasing the risk of a crash.
