Description of the problem	I just had the clock spring recall fixed, and i am being told that the ocs sensor mat in the passenger seat, that will cost me $1600. I did some research on this issue and found that there are other optima owners with this same issue. There is a recall on this part in the same year ranges on the rio. I would bet they used the same brand and sensor in probably all the cars in these years, so why only recall one model ? This is clearly a safety issue that needs to be the responsibility of the manufacturer, and they know and understand this due to them having one recall out already. I don't feel i should pay to have my car repaired when rio owners don't for the same safety issue. My car will not pass inspection with the airbag light on. Kia should be responsible for replacing this sensor to keep my family safe while driving. They designed this faulty sensor in the passenger seat and don't have an affordable way to fix it. Other than this issue my car in great shape. Hoping you will advocate for the safety of our family. Thank you
