Summary

Dealer parts & service manager memo: attention: all kia parts & service managers - kia motors america, inc. Will be conducting a voluntary service campaign, to update the airbag control unit logic for certain 2014-2015 my soul vehicles. Kia provides software logic for the 2014-2015 my soul which can predict certain rollover events and protect the occupants by deploying the curtain and side airbags in advance of a rollover. Kia has become aware of a few extreme driving events, typically at low speeds and involving parking valets and/or prolonged multi-level garage driving, which can deploy such airbags by coinciding with a specialized portion of the acu rollover deployment logic where it is not likely that a rollover would occur. Kia has decided to adjust the system logic to reduce the likelihood of rollover airbag deployments in these circumstances.

Owners of these vehicles have filed 46 complaints in the airbags category.
