Fortunately, no injuries have been reported due to the issue.<\/h2>\n

According to a media report, Kia has recalled the 2023 Seltos in the US market due to a welding error, causing the diffuser disk to break; resulting in the airbags inflating without prior warning or deployment command.<\/p>\n

As per the NHTSA report, 4 part numbers for the side curtain airbag modules seem to have the issue. A total of 2,300 vehicles require inspection, of which, 1% may have the airbag modules replaced with brand-new units. Of the total vehicles affected, 1,367 units are of the Seltos crossover.<\/p>\n

Kia North America will inform its dealers about the issue no later than January 29, 2024. Also, owners of the affected vehicles will receive a post before the end of next month. Fortunately, no injuries have been reported due to the issue.<\/p>\n

In the US market, the Kia Seltos is offered at a starting price of $24,390. The US-spec crossover comes with two engine and transmission options.<\/p>\n
