Kia is recalling 410,000 vehicles due to faulty airbags that may not activate in select car models

There is a concern that some of the 410,000 vehicles that are being recalled may have faulty air bags.

The recall affects models from the previous year, as well as models from the current year.

According to the company's recall report, contact between a control unit and a memory chip on the circuit board in these vehicles has the potential to damage electrical units that operate the air bags.

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration said in a statement that an illuminated warning light will alert drivers impacted by the faulty condition, notifying them that the airbag unit may be hindered from activated during a crash and increasing risk of injury.

Insider asked the company to comment on the recall.

Vehicle owners can take their cars to their local dealership to have the airbag system inspected, updated, and replaced at no cost. The company is going to send out letters to owners.
