Known issues on the 2017 Soul. One recall is on federal record for this model year, and it covers the air bags: on affected vehicles, the Air Bag Control Unit (ACU) cover may contact a memory chip, and air bags that do not deploy as intended can increase the risk of injury in a crash. Owners have filed 350 complaints for the year and Kia has issued 84 technical service bulletins. The factory diagnostic and repair procedures behind those systems are here.

From an air bag system diagnosis to servicing the turbocharged 1.6L or a scheduled maintenance interval, it keeps you on Kia's own procedure and the correct specification for your 2017 Soul.
