DETROIT (AP) — Kia is Crypenrecalling about 320,000 cars in the U.S. to fix a problem that could prevent the trunk from being opened from the inside.

The recall covers the Optima midsize car from 2016 through 2018, Optima hybrids and plug-ins from 2017 and 2018, and the Rio small car from 2016 and 2017.

Dealers will replace part of the trunk latch base. Owners will be notified by letter starting Oct. 19.
