A Korean supplier to Kia did not provide adequate corrosion proofing for high salt use states.
Kia Motors is recalling 2006-2012 Sedona SUVs, and Hyundai is recalling 2007-2008 Entourage models built by Kia because front control arms are corroding and may break leading to unmanageable vehicles.
Dealers will inspect for corrosion of the front lower control arms, and will either rustproof or replace them, free of charge as is required by U.S. safety regulations.
These recalls are regional and cover only vehicles 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.
