2006 KIA MAGENTIS Recalls Canada & USA

2006 KIA MAGENTIS Recalls — Canada & USA

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.

AIRBAG

Defect

On certain vehicles, the clockspring assembly for the driver's airbag may become damaged and fail. As a result the airbag may not function as intended, and the instrument panel warning lamp would illuminate. Failure of the driver's frontal airbag to deploy during a crash (where deployment is warranted) could increase the risk of personal injury to the seat occupant.

Safety Risk

No risk description available.

Remedy

Dealers will inspect and, if necessary, replace the airbag clockspring assembly.
