| Description of the problem | Takata recall. I don't know enough about vehicle airbags to know if my problem is part of the takata recall. However, i've learned that kia did issue a recall for an airbag problem with the rondo (# sc094). Unaware of this recall, i brought my kia to the kia dealer when my airbag light illuminated. It's possible that the date was prior to the kia recall. The kia dealer told me that i must pay out of pocket for any investigation of the cause of the airbag light illuminating due to the expiration of the 60,000 mile warranty on the vehicle. To this day, the airbag light is still illuminated. I'm not certain of the exact date that i notified the kia dealer. |
