20052262005-08-08. Brakes. On certain vehicles, an undersized parking brake ratchet pawl could wear prematurely, resulting in unexpected failure of the parking brake. Correction: Dealers will replace the parking brake engagement assembly.
20051602005-05-20. Fuel System. On certain vehicles, fuel may leak from the o-ring seal into the internal vapour chamber located in the fuel tank at full tank conditions. As a result, it may be difficult to fill the gas tank and/or fuel may leak from the evaporative air filter inlet. Fuel leakage, in the presence of an ignition source, could result in a fire. Correction: Kia Canada Inc. has corrected all affected vehicles prior to distribution to dealers.
20051022005-04-08. Other. On certain vehicles, while cornering under conditions where Electronic Stability Program (ESP) activation may not be needed, a sensitive ESP may cause the engine to reduce power and the brake at one of the wheels to be applied without brake pedal application by the driver. This may cause the vehicle to slow and may affect the path that the vehicle is traveling. Brake application caused by inadvertent ESP activation may result in a crash. Correction: Dealers will reprogram the ESP Hydraulic Electronic Control Unit (HECU).

A campaign lists a year, a make and a model, and often only some of the vehicles built. A list with nothing on it is not a clearance either. The lookups below check one VIN.
