Hagens Berman Sobol Shapiro Investigations

Kia Air Bags

Date Started: November 13, 2009

Hagens Berman Sobol Shapiro is investigating Kia Motors and its occupant classification system, OCS, after claims that adults weighing less than 130 pounds deactivate the air bags in the passenger seat, leaving passengers at significant risk if there's an accident and the air bags don't deploy.

The investigation includes all Kia models made between 2006 and 2009.

The law firm is also investigating claims that Kia was aware of the OCS problems in distinguishing between children and small adults and failed to disclose this defect to owners and new purchasers.
