Kia is recalling 3,107 2014 Cadenza sedans equipped with 19-inch non-chrome aluminum wheels because the wheels can fracture after impacts such as large, deep potholes. A fractured wheel can let the circular rim separate, causing loss of tire pressure and raising crash risk; Kia dealers will perform the recall repair free of charge once it is available.

What's wrong?
The wheels on the 2014 Kia Cadenza support the tire, carry the vehicle's weight, and keep the tire seated against the road. On the affected vehicles, the recall is tied to 19-inch non-chrome aluminum wheels. A wheel is supposed to stay intact when it absorbs normal road impacts and transmits steering, braking, and cornering forces through the tire.
On these Cadenzas, the wheel can fracture after a sharp impact, such as hitting a large, deep pothole. That means the aluminum structure of the wheel cracks instead of staying solid. Once the wheel fractures, it no longer supports the tire the way it was designed to, and the tire and wheel assembly need inspection and repair through the recall path.
There is no warning sign before failure. The fracture happens after the wheel takes a severe impact, so the first indication can be the damage itself rather than an advance symptom.

Not every 2014 Kia Cadenza is on the list. Check your VIN to confirm whether your specific sedan is included.
What's the safety risk?
If a wheel fractures, the circular rim can separate, causing tire-pressure loss and increasing crash risk. If you notice sudden pressure loss or wheel damage, pull over safely and call a Kia dealer before continuing. Repair will be free at any franchised Kia dealer once available.
What should I do?
- Check your VIN to confirm your 2014 Kia Cadenza is included in this recall.
- Contact a franchised Kia dealer about the free wheel replacement that fixes the fracture risk from impact-damaged 19-inch non-chrome aluminum wheels.
- Bring the recall notice if Kia mailed one, or reference recall number 14V289 when you call.
- Drive cautiously until the repair is complete. Avoid large, deep potholes and pull over if a tire loses pressure.
What happens at the repair
At the dealer, a Kia technician replaces the affected 19-inch non-chrome aluminum wheels with new wheels. Kia's remedy says the work is free, and the recall began in June 2014. Because the supplied status does not confirm current scheduling, contact a Kia dealer with campaign 14V289 before arranging service so the dealer can confirm parts and appointment timing. The repair is the wheel replacement itself, not a wheel inspection or tire replacement unless the dealer identifies a separate service need.
