Kia has issued 1 other safety recall covering certain 2014 Sportage vehicles. Kia Motors Corporation (Kia) is recalling certain model year 2014 Kia Sportage vehicles manufactured September 30, 2013, through January 11, 2014.

The fix is free, and our Hattiesburg service bay on US-98 can usually turn it around the same day. Here’s exactly who’s affected and what to do.
