Kia Recalls 21,000 EV9 SUVs Over Airbag Child-Detection Fault
Kia is recalling 21,290 EV9 SUVs from model years 2025-2026 due to a faulty airbag occupant detection system that may fail to deactivate the airbag for children. The issue stems from a pinched tube in the front seat, prompting a free dealer inspection and repair starting October 2026.
