Yes, the Kia Sorento has had seat-belt–related recalls in Australia across select model years, so you’re not imagining things.
The fix is a free dealer job—book it with your VIN and they’ll confirm whether your Sorento is affected and what parts need replacing.
Until it’s inspected, avoid using any seating position specifically called out in the recall notice, and definitely don’t tinker with pretensioners yourself.
Check your VIN via Kia Australia’s recall lookup or the Product Safety Australia database, then let the dealer handle it under warranty—it’s quick, and it prevents nasty surprises.
