2002–2004 Kia Sedona EX recall: seats
⚠️ What's wrong
On certain passenger vehicles equipped with power seats, the wiring under the front seats could be misrouted, allowing contact with metal seat components.
💥 The risk
This contact could eventually result in a short circuit condition that may result in a fire in the junction box area of the vehicle.
🔧 The fix
Dealers will inspect and re-route the wires under the power seats, if necessary, as well as install protective seaming welts around those wires to better insulate them. The recall began on november 28, 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.)
