<a href="http://www.autoblog.com/kia/">Kia</a> is recalling certain 2014 models of its adorable <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/kia/soul/">Soul</a> due to a bad adhesive used in the steering system. According to the bulletin from the <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/tag/nhtsa/">National Highway Traffic Safety Administration</a>, the "thread-locking adhesive" that attaches the plug between the pinion gear and steering gear assembly could come loose.<br />
<br />
Should that happen, the condition could lead to a "loss of steering," which, of course increases the likelihood of a crash. The 51,641 affected cars were built between July 21, 2013 and January 17, 2014. There have been no reported accidents, let alone injuries or deaths due to this issue.<br />
<br />
Kia is in the process of notifying owners of the affected vehicles as well as dealers in possession of the faulty Souls.<br />
