Recall Data Provided by NHTSA

#
1		Make(s):
KIA		Model(s):
LD SPECTRA		Year(s):
2004, 2005
Manufacturer:
KIA MOTORS AMERICA, INC.		NHTSA ID:
05V431000		Recall Date:
September 21st, 2005		Units Affected:
73,641

Affected Component: Air bags.

Summary: On certain vehicles equipped with an advanced air bag feature, the occupant classification system (ocs) installed in the right front seat of the vehicle may misclassify a child restraint seat (crs) as an adult. This may occur if the crs is installed after an adult has been seated in the right front seat. If there has not been a 'key on' ' key off' cycle with the right front passenger seat empty prior to installation of the crs. .

Conequence: The possibility of misclassification of a crs as an adult may allow the right front airbag or side impact airbag to deploy in a crash and could result in injury to the right front occupant. .

Remedy: Dealers will reprogram the vehicle's ocs electronic control unit (ecu) to remove the feature that may cause the crs to be recognized as an adult. The recall began on october 31, 2005. Owners may contact kia at 1-800-333-4542. .

Notes: Kia recall no. Sc-053. Customers may also contact the national highway traffic safety administration's vehicle safety hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (tty 1-800-424-9153).

2		Make(s):
KIA		Model(s):
SPECTRA		Year(s):
2004, 2005, 2006, 2007
Manufacturer:
KIA MOTORS CORPORATION		NHTSA ID:
11V256000		Recall Date:
April 25th, 2011		Units Affected:
58,322

Affected Component: Fuel system, other:storage:tank assembly:mounting.

Summary: Kia is recalling certain model year 2004-2007 spectra ld vehicles manufactured from november 7, 2003, through march 6, 2007, originally sold, or currently registered in, connecticut, delaware, illinois, indiana, iowa, maine, maryland massachusetts, michigan, minnesota, missouri, new hampshire, new jersey, new york, ohio, pennsylvania, rhodeisland, vermont, west virginia, wisconsin, and the district of columbia. There is a possibility that corrosion of the fuel tank straps which hold the tank may occur as a result of prolonged exposure to road salt. As a result of the corrosion, one or both straps may separate allowing the fuel tank to contact the ground and possibly disrupt the integrity of the tank. .

Conequence: The fuel tank can fall from the vehicle and strike the ground which could cause a fuel leak. Leaking fuel can create a fire hazard. .

Remedy: Dealers will replace the fuel tank straps and attaching hardware with new zinc coated parts. This service will be performed free of charge. The safety recall began on june 6, 2011. Owners may contact kia at 1-800-333-4542. .

Notes: Kia safety recall no. Sc090. Owners may also contact the national highway traffic safety administration's vehicle safety hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (tty 1-800-424-9153).
