Kia is recalling certain 2012-2013 Optima vehicles. Over 257,000 total vehicles affected.
According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, the right and lift headliner plate may not be secured properly, which can result in the plates detaching in the event of a side curtain air bag deployment, potentially striking an occupant.
