Safety and recalls
Transport Canada · updated 2026-10-18No safety recalls on file for the 2026 Kia Niro FE so far.
Earlier model years · 2025: 1 · 2024: 3
AirbagThe wiring under the front passenger seat may not have been routed correctly.
Issue
On certain vehicles, the wiring under the front passenger seat may not have been routed correctly. As a result, the wiring could become damaged when the seat is moved. If this happens, the airbags and seat belt pretensioners may not work and/or the airbag system may not turn off the passenger-front airbag when an infant or child seat is in the front passenger seat. This problem could also cause the passenger side seat airbag to inflate unexpectedly.
Note: This recall only affects vehicles equipped with a manual front passenger seat. This recall also affects Niro hybrid and plug-in hybrid (PHEV) models.
Safety Risk
Airbags and/or seat belt pretensioners that don't work properly could increase the risk of injury in a crash. Additionally, an airbag that deploys without a crash could create a risk of injury.
Corrective Actions
Kia will notify owners by mail and advise you to take your vehicle to a dealership to inspect and, if necessary, replace the wiring under the front passenger seat. The dealer will also reroute and install covers to protect the wiring.

LabelThe compliance label may be missing information in French.
Issue
On certain vehicles, the compliance label may be missing information in French.

Canadian regulations require this information to be listed on the label in both English and French.
Safety Risk
These small errors do not affect vehicle safety.
Corrective Actions
This is not a recall. Kia has corrected the compliance label for all new vehicles.
