## What is wrong

On certain vehicles, the steering tie rods may have a manufacturing flaw that affects the metallurgy.  When subjected to stresses that arise in the normal operation of the vehicle, it is possible that a section of the steering tie rod may crack or fail, impairing steering ability.  In certain conditions, this could lead to a loss of steering control which could result in a crash.  Correction: Kia Canada Inc. will replace the steering rack assembly on all affected vehicles at the port of entry prior to distribution to dealers.
