- [2021504](/recalls/tc/2021504.md), 2021-08-10: Structure. Issue: On certain vehicles, a part in the trunk release latch could fail. If this happens, the emergency trunk release located inside the trunk compartment may not work properly. This could prevent a person that is trapped inside the trunk from opening it.  Safety Risk: If a person is closed inside the trunk compartment, they may not be able to get out. This could create a risk of injury.  Corrective Actions: Kia will notify owners by mail and instruct you to take your vehicle to a dealer to replace the trunk latch assembly.
