Concern

Kia EV9 Seat Mounting Bolts

Defect, as DVSA words it

Due to an error by a plant assembly worker some of the seat mounting bolts may be missing in the subject vehicles. Seats with missing seat mounting bolts may not properly restrain an occupant during certain collisions potentially resulting in injuries in case of a crash.

Remedy, as DVSA words it

Inspect the mounting bolts and refit if required.
