 The recall affects Sedona minivans from 2006 through 2012. They were
sold or registered in Canada and in 20 U.S. states and Washington,
D.C., where salt is used to clear roads in the winter.
The U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration says the
lower control arms near the wheels can rust and break due to salt
exposure.
Kia dealers will inspect the parts and rustproof or replace them for
free starting next month.
In the U.S., the recall covers nearly 80,000 vans in Massachusetts,
Maryland, Michigan, New Hampshire, New York, Pennsylvania, Vermont,
Wisconsin, Connecticut, Delaware, Iowa, Illinois, Indiana, Maine,
Minnesota, Missouri, New Jersey, Ohio, Rhode Island, West Virginia
or the District of Columbia. More than 16,000 Sedonas are covered in
Canada.
Kia said it doesn't know of any injuries or crashes caused by the
problem.
Owners with questions can call the company at 800-333-4542. [Associated
