2006 Kia Magentis Recalls

The 2006 Kia Magentis has two recalls, the more serious being a shift cable that can detach from the shifter assembly, leaving the transmission stuck in gear while the shift lever falsely indicates the vehicle is in Park.

If the cable separates, the driver may believe the vehicle is safely parked when the transmission is still engaged in the last used gear, creating a rollaway risk. The second recall involves the clockspring assembly behind the steering wheel, which can wear and fail. If it fails, the driver's frontal airbag may not deploy in a crash, and the airbag warning light will typically illuminate on the instrument panel.
