The safety of occupants is the first priority when a recall is issued for the 2021 Kia K5. The current NHTSA-recorded recall affects the air bag Occupant Classification and Detection System (OCS/ODS), which may not recognize a child restraint in the front passenger seat and could allow an air bag to deploy incorrectly. In practical terms, that increases the risk of injury to a child restrained in the front seat during a crash. Ignoring this recall could affect insurance claims or leave your family exposed to preventable harm. Nalley Kia’s factory-trained technicians understand the OCS/ODS system, have OEM parts on hand when available, and follow Kia service procedures to complete the replacement correctly and document the repair. We urge owners in Lithonia, Decatur, Conyers, and greater Atlanta to address this free recall promptly—contact Nalley Kia to schedule service and review available service specials.
