Kia is recalling 319,436 cars to fix a trunk latch that can crack, preventing it from being opened from the inside.
notice posted Wednesday by NHTSA, the base of the cars’ trunk latch can crack, preventing the opening of the trunk from the inside. Federal auto safety regulations require that trunks can be opened from the inside. Kia spokesman James Bell said no injuries or deaths have been associated with the recall.
“A person inside the trunk compartment may become trapped, increasing their risk of injury,” wrote NHTSA recall division chief Alex Ansley in a letter addressed to J.S. Park, the chief safety office at Kia. Vehicle owners have until Oct. 19 to take their cars to Kia dealerships, where the defective trunk latch part will be replaced free of charge.
