Recall Information Record

Recall Summary

The European Commission Safety Gate system has published a recall notification concerning a specific passenger van model under case number SR/02091/26. The notification was submitted by Belgium, the notifying country, and the product originates from the Republic of Korea. The recalling economic operator is identified as the importer of the product. The recall measure involves the removal of the product from end users, though the date of entry into force for the measure has not been specified in the notification. The product in question is a passenger van marketed under the brand Kia, with the model name PV5. The recall covers both the passenger and cargo variants of the PV5 model.

Affected Products

The affected product is the Kia PV5 passenger and cargo van. The specific type or model number is listed as “PV5 Passenger & Cargo.” The production period for the vehicles subject to this recall runs from 8 September 2025 to 2 February 2026. No batch number or barcode information is provided in the notification. The company recall code associated with this action is 261105261106261107. The product category is motor vehicles, and the product is described simply as a passenger van. The recall notification does not list specific vehicle identification numbers (VINs) or other individual unit identifiers beyond the production date range and model designation.

Hazard Information

The recall is prompted by a non-compliance issue related to pedestrian safety. According to the notification, the passenger van has uneven material strength in certain areas of the bonnet (hood). In the event of a collision with a pedestrian, this condition could reduce the bonnet’s ability to absorb impact energy. As a result, the severity of injuries to a pedestrian involved in such a collision may be increased. The product does not comply with the European Union Regulation on the approval and market surveillance of two- or three-wheel vehicles and quadricycles. The risk type is classified as “Injuries” in the notification. No further details regarding specific crash test results, failure modes, or injury statistics are provided in the source data. The hazard is described exclusively in terms of the potential for increased injury severity during pedestrian impacts due to the bonnet’s uneven material strength.

Consumer Action Required

The recall notification does not provide specific instructions directed at consumers or vehicle owners regarding what actions they should take. The notified measure is a recall of the product from end users, but no explicit steps—such as contacting a dealer, scheduling an inspection, or ceasing use of the vehicle—are detailed in the source data. Consumers who own or operate a Kia PV5 passenger or cargo van produced between 8 September 2025 and 2 February 2026 should be aware that a recall has been initiated. However, because the notification does not contain a consumer-facing action plan, it is recommended that owners seek further information from the importer, manufacturer, or authorised Kia dealerships. The official Safety Gate alert page, referenced in the notification, may contain additional updates or contact instructions that are not reproduced in this record.
