## What is wrong

Kia Motors Corporation \(Kia\) is recalling certain model year 2006\-2012 Kia Sedona vehicles manufactured from June 15, 2005, through August 14, 2012 originally sold in, or currently registered in Massachusetts, Maryland, Michigan, New Hampshire, New York, Pennsylvania, Vermont, Wisconsin, Connecticut, Delaware, Iowa, Illinois, Indiana, Maine, Minnesota, Missouri, New Jersey, Ohio, Rhode Island, West Virginia or the District of Columbia.  In the affected vehicles, the front lower control arms may break due to corrosion resulting from prolonged exposure to salty environments.


## What can happen

A broken control arm can result in the loss of control of the vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash.


## The remedy

Kia will notify owners and dealers will inspect the degree of corrosion of the front lower control arms, and will either rustproof or replace them, free of charge.  The recall began on December 20, 2013.  Owners may contact Kia at 1\-800\-333\-4542.  Kia's recall number is SC100.


## Notes

Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1\-888\-327\-4236 \(TTY 1\-800\-424\-9153\), or go to www.safercar.gov.
