- Period mentioned
- 2025–2026
- Symptoms
- Knocks or noises from the front right wheel and steering that pulls; in the worst case, the strut separates from the arm.
- Possible cause described
- A faulty weld on the front right strut bracket can let the strut separate from the lower arm and affect control (KBA 16703R, Kia campaign 261111, 3,670 vans built from 12/11/2025 to 31/3/2026). Another campaign checks the bonnet of vans built from 8/9/2025 to 2/2/2026 because its uneven material may injure a pedestrian more in a collision (KBA 16771R).
