Kia Motors is recalling 3,107 model year 2014 Cadenza vehicles manufactured February 1, 2013, through August 27, 2013, and equipped with 19" non-chrome aluminum wheels.
The wheels on the affected vehicles may fracture from impacts such as large, deep potholes. A wheel fracture could cause the circular rim to separate, resulting in a loss of tire pressure, increasing the risk of a crash.
Kia will notify owners, and dealers will replace the wheels with new wheels, free of charge. The recall is expected to begin in June 2014.
Owners may contact Kia customer service at 1-800-333-4542. Kia's number for this recall is SC107.
