Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	To whom it may concern, i have a 2006 kia rio lx and at about 60,000 miles the passenger side airbag light came on. My concern is that the airbag will not deploy if there is an accident. My father also has the exact same car and it had the same issue. After reviewing consumer reports on the vehicle, i noticed that it is a common issue and it is definitely something that should be recalled. I noticed there was a recall for the kia optima airbags for that year but not for the rio lx. Please look into this issue and get back to me.

What is Recall?
A recall is when a product is removed from the market or a correction is made to the product because it is either defective or potentially harmful.
What is Failure?
Failure is the state or condition of not meeting a desirable or intended objective, and may be viewed as the opposite of success. Product failure ranges from failure to sell the product to fracture of the product, in the worst cases leading to personal injury, the province of forensic engineering.
