The recall news alert warns that Kia Optima sedans that were manufactured between August 12, 2011, and September 27, 2013 have a dangerous defect. The recall notice states that affected Kia Optima sedans’ have headliner plates that can detach during the deployment of side-impact airbags in an accident, causing serious injury.
