Kia is recalling roughly 320,000 vehicles in the United States due to a trunk entrapment risk, an issue that could leave someone unable to escape from inside. The Korean automaker is addressing the defect to protect occupants from the potential danger.
Trunk release mechanisms exist precisely to prevent people from becoming trapped, making the recall an important safety matter. Owners of affected models are advised to have the issue corrected to avoid any risk of being unable to get out.
