2006 KIA SEDONA Recalls — Canada & USA

The 2006 Kia Sedona has 13 recalls, the most serious being a fire risk that can occur even when the vehicle is parked, traced to moisture entering the brake control module and causing an electrical short. Several recalls share the same root: moisture can also get into the ABS module and trigger a similar short circuit with the same fire risk, again with the engine off. These two issues overlap in cause and consequence and represent the most urgent concerns on this vehicle. On the suspension side, front lower control arms can corrode from road salt exposure and break, causing sudden loss of steering control. Brake hose concerns also appear: rear caliper hoses that sit out of position can rub against suspension components over time, wear through, and leak fluid, reducing stopping power. The hood latch draws two separate filings: the secondary latch can corrode or bind and fail to engage when the hood is closed, leaving it held only by the primary latch, which could swing open unexpectedly while driving. On the electrical side, vehicles equipped with adjustable brake pedals have a wiring harness near the steering column that can chafe and short, knocking out the brake lights, stalling the engine, or preventing the vehicle from starting. There is also a recall for a stop lamp switch that may have been installed incorrectly, causing the brake lights to fail to illuminate when braking.
