Details
What's wrong: A component of the rear suspension may not be properly welded.
Why it matters: The improper weld may break, affecting the rear suspension alignment, thereby increasing the risk of a crash.
The fix: Kia will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the welds at the rear suspension cross-member, replacing the rear cross-member assembly, as necessary, free of charge. The recall began July 27, 2016.
