Description of the problem	Dt: the contact owns a 2004 kia sedona mini van. The contact stated their recall 03v158000 concerning abs brakes was issued in 2003 for the 2003 kia sedona. This vehicle was having the same problem as stated in the recall. However the manufacturer will not include 2004 in the recall. Front ends shimmied while braking.
