“I have a 2024 Kia EV6 I took my car in for an unrelated repair. Tech found an airbag code that I asked to be investigated. The airbag wiring harness was damaged and needed replacement. The repair was quoted as $6600. The dealer claimed that this was from rodent damage but the photo evidence does not look like rodent damage. It looks like the wire was pulled out of the harness. Of note, the 2024 Kia Niro and 2024 Kia Telluride have similar active recalls. Please see NHTSA Recalls 25V-024 and 23V-035.”
