The 2010 Kia Forte Koup has 2 recalls, the most serious being an anti-lock brake control module that can cause an engine compartment fire while the vehicle is parked or being driven.
The second recall involves the airbag control unit, which can short-circuit in a crash and prevent the front airbags and seatbelt pretensioners from deploying, leaving occupants without that protection at the moment they need it most.
