## What is wrong

Kia Motors Corporation \(Kia\) is recalling certain model year 2006\-2014 Kia Sedona vehicles manufactured from June 15, 2005, through April 04, 2014.  In the affected vehicles, the secondary hood latch may bind and remain in the unlatched position when the hood is closed.


## What can happen

If the primary latch is inadvertently released and the secondary latch is not engaged, the hood could unexpectedly open while driving, increasing the risk of a vehicle crash.


## The remedy

Kia will notify owners and dealers will replace the secondary hood latch or clean and lubricate the latch, depending on the vehicle's location and the condition of the latch.  These repairs will be performed free of charge.  The recall began on July 27, 2016.  Owners may contact Kia at 1\-800\-333\-4542.  Kia's recall number is SC134.


## Notes

Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1\-888\-327\-4236 \(TTY 1\-800\-424\-9153\), or go to www.safercar.gov.
