Internal NHTSA #	11030751
Manufacurer	Kia Motors America
Brand	KIA
Model	RIO
Model Year	2012
File date	21/09/17
Component	AIR BAGS
Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	Airbag light stays on, car has little over 87,000 miles strictly dealer maintenance no rhyme or reason to explain the light. No accidents no liquiud spills on any seats dealer stated cost could be up to $2000. 00 depending on what the $245. 00 diagnostic snows. I can not u understand how a safety feature uus not covered for much longer. Hell my catalytic converter gas a longer warranty. My dealer tells me they are seeing more and more kka vehicles coming in with similar problems with almost exact years and mileage. That tells me there is a issue. Kia needs to step up and address this safety issue. I have 2 other cars that are older and never bad a airbag lightg on. My 02 avalanche has 237,000 miles on it. Never a issue. My 99 chevy express van 347,000 miles on it zero airbag lights ever! Why does a 5 year old car with 87,000 miles have it? Government needs to issue a safety recall before someone is injured or dies due to cheap parts being used.

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.
