2002–2003 Kia Sedona recall: speed control
⚠️ What's wrong
On certain MINI vans, during assembly, the throttle cable would twist itself out of position.
💥 The risk
This CAN permit the cable to be hung up, which could result in a crash.
🔧 The fix
Dealers will replace the throttle cable free of charge. Vehicles produced from march 20, 2001 through november 7, 2001 will have a guide clip installed on the throttle body assembly in order to ensure that the tension force cable does not move out of position. Vehicles manufactured beginning on november 8, 2001, already have the extended guide, which accomplishes the same objective. The recall began march 21, 2005. Owners may contact KIA at 1-800-333-4542.
Is the fix free? Yes. Safety recall repairs are free at any authorized dealer under federal law, including parts and labor. (Vehicles more than 15 years old when the recall was announced can be excluded, but most manufacturers still fix them.)
