The hazard

Note: This recall only affects certain K4 hatchback models. Safety Risk: A seat belt that doesn't latch properly could increase the risk of injury in a crash. Corrective Actions: To reduce the safety risk, Kia advises that you shouldn't transport a passenger in the rear center seat until the recall repairs are completed. Kia will notify owners by mail and advise you to take your vehicle to a dealership to inspect and, if necessary, replace the rear center seat belt buckle.
