The National Highway Traffic Safety
Administration (NHTSA) provides 3
different ratings -
full-width frontal crash test
,
side impact crash test
, and
rollover resistance
. The frontal crash test indicates how
well the safety features and restraints
will protect an occupant in a head-on
collision. The side-impact test conveys
the chance of a severe chest injury,
while the rollover resistance rating
estimates the risk of rolling over in a
single vehicle crash.

<p>The Kia Sedona was introduced in the 2002 model year. Kia says it changed the frontal airbag system for 2002-05 models built after March 2002 (see details below). A redesigned Sedona was introduced as a 2006 model.</p>
Dummy movement wasn't well controlled. There was too much upward steering wheel movement. During rebound, the dummy's head moved partway out the open side window and hit the B-pillar. Also, in a separate 5 mph frontal impact without dummies in the car, both frontal airbags deployed. Such deployments not only are unnecessary in low-speed crashes but also may cause injuries to front-seat occupants positioned too close to the airbags. Note: Kia says it changed the airbag system for 2002 and later models built after March 2002 so that the airbags will no longer deploy in such a low-speed impact. Therefore, the restraints/dummy kinematics rating improves to MARGINAL for the later models.
Measures taken from the neck, chest, and both legs indicate low risk of injury to these body regions. However, a high head acceleration occurred when the dummy's head hit the B-pillar, indicating the possibility of head injury.

WHEELS

On certain minivans equipped with alloy wheels, moisture can accumulate around the rear hub caps causing damage to the outer wheel bearing. Wheel bearing failure may occur without warning which could result in a crash. Dealers will replace the rear hub caps. Upon inspection, some vehicles will also require replacement of the rear outer bearings and/or hub assembly. The recall is expected to begin on June 6, 2005. Owners may contact Kia at 1-800-333-4542.

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL:CABLES
|
|
Description:
|
On certain minivans, freezing conditions can cause water on the throttle cable to freeze during normal operation. Resistance to movement of the throttle cable can occur when the driver lifts their foot off of the gas pedal. This can cause the cable to stick, thus preventing the engine from returning to idle and causing the vehicle to maintain speed or accelerate. Such an event can occur without warning and could cause a crash. Dealers will modify a protective sleeve around the throttle cable. The recall is expected to begin during September 2005. Owners may contact Kia at 1-800-333-4542.
