Plain-English summary

Kia Motors Corporation is recalling certain model year 2014 Cadenza vehicles manufactured between February 1, 2013, and August 27, 2013. The recall applies specifically to vehicles equipped with 19-inch non-chrome aluminum wheels.

The wheels on the affected vehicles may fracture from impacts, such as hitting large, deep potholes. A wheel fracture could cause the circular rim to separate, resulting in a loss of tire pressure and increasing the risk of a crash.

Kia will notify owners, and dealers will replace the wheels with new wheels free of charge. The recall began in June 2014. Owners may contact Kia customer service at 1-800-333-4542 or the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236.
