DETROIT (Michigan News Source) – Kia America is recalling more than 80,000 vehicles because floor wiring can prevent air bags and seat belts from deploying property due to damaged wiring.
In addition, damaged wiring can cause unintended side curtain air bag deployment. The recall covers 80,255 2023-2025 Niro EV, Plug-in Hybrid (PHEV), and Hybrid vehicles.

Dealers will inspect, replace and reroute the floor wiring assembly for free, and install wiring covers. Owners will be notified by letters mailed in March.
The recall follows one in November, when Hyundai and Kia recalled more than 208,000 electric vehicles to fix a transistor in a charging control unit that could be damaged and stop charging the 12-volt battery. That could trigger a loss of drive power and increase the risk of a crash.
