💥 The risk
This would result in the loss of brake fluid, which could cause decreased brake function, leading to crash and personal injuries.
🔧 The fix
Dealers will inspect the positioning of the rear caliper brake hoses and adjust or replace them free of charge. The recall began on september 15, 2006. 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.)
