Vehicle recalltype

Details

What's wrong: Affects vehicles equipped with non-adjustable brake pedals. Certain pedal mounts may have a fiberglass composition that allows them to break off in a collision where the impact has not immobilized the vehicle, which would then allow the vehicle to roll.

Why it matters: If this occurs, the driver would need to stop the vehicle with the parking brake or experience a possible second impact, increasing the risk of personal injury.

The fix: Kia will notify owners, and dealers will replace the brake pedal mount, free of charge. The recall began on June 15, 2012.
