Description of the problem	While working on my 2008 kia sedona, i discovered severe perforating corrosion on the passenger side front lower control arm. I discovered that kia had initiated a voluntary recall under nhtsa campaign number: 16v387000. I contacted kia at 1-800-333-4542 to see if they would apply recall sc133 to my car even though it is not in one of the identified states (although virginia does use road salt in winter). After i called them twice and sent the attached pictures they told me they wouldn't cover it and that i would have to pay for a dealership to diagnose it and send them their opinion for them to reconsider. I do not think that i should have to pay anything out of pocket to verify what the pictures clearly show. This corrosion could result a broken control arm and result in the loss of control of the vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash. Please contact kia for me or change the campaign to mandatory and expand it to all states.

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.

Non-conformance of a car component with the specified requirements, or non-fulfillment of user expectations, including the safety aspects.
