As for the Sorento, they say there are two windscreens used in that model, they have one in stock, the other they don't, but they can get one very quickly if it were needed. Further, they say they have had their customer assistance people contact you to invite you to take your car to your dealer and have it checked for any possible quality issues it might have.

You can get into an argument about the competence of the person who worked on the car and whether it not they followed the Kia recommendations etc. But if you have a mechanic you trust to do the work "by the book" then there is no legal issue.
