What is being recalled

Kia Motors America (Kia) is recalling all 2014-2016 Cadenza vehicles. During manufacturing, the front windshield may not have been properly bonded to the vehicle, allowing it to detach.

Why it is dangerous

A front windshield that detaches from a vehicle can increase the risk of a crash or injury.

The fix (free at any franchised dealer)

Dealers will inspect the front windshield glass. If necessary, the windshield will be removed and reinstalled. Repairs will be performed free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed May 13, 2022. Owners may contact Kia customer service at 1-800-333-4542. Kia's number for this recall is SC232.

Recall repairs are always free, regardless of vehicle age or where you bought the car. Quote the campaign number 22V-158 when calling a dealer.
