Kia recalls nearly 73,000 Rio models over airbag issue
Filed under: Budget, Sedan, Recalls, Safety, Kia
Due to a potentially faulty sensor mat, Kia is voluntarily recalling Kia Rio models from the 2006 to 2008 model years. The sensor in the passenger's seat is susceptible to cracking from fatigue. If that happens, it may not be able to detect whether a child is in the seat, nor will it be able to adjust the airbag deployment settings so as not to deploy if there is a child present.
Kia says there are around 73,000 units affected, and the Korean automaker will begin notifying owners in July. Scroll down for the bulletin posted by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.Continue reading Kia recalls nearly 73,000 Rio models over airbag issueKia recalls nearly 73,000 Rio models over airbag issue originally appeared on Autoblog on Tue, 05 Jun 2012 11:01:00 EST.
