Kia Set to Recall 73,000 Rio Vehicles Due to Potentially Faulty Airbag Sensor

According to the manufacturer Kia is set to recall roughly 73000 Kia Rio vehicles due to a potentially faulty airbag sensor on the passenger side. The vehicles affected are from model years 2006 to 2008 and are susceptible to cracking from fatigue. With this potential fault the unit may not be able to detect a child in the seat thus unable to change the deployment settings.

Commentary
Ive mentioned in other blogs that manufacturers will note they are voluntarily recalling something on a member of their fleet. When the recall has anything to do with safety voluntary becomes mandatory according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. Id like to point out that while the recall covers vehicles with model years 2006-2008 the cars in question were actually built between February 2005 and December 2007.
