Another Kia Recall, This for Faulty Brake Pedal in BorregoKia's

Another Kia Recall, This for Faulty Brake Pedal in BorregoKia's hit by another recall, this one for Borrego SUVs with fragile brake pedal mounts.

Yesterday, Kia announced a recall of 2006 through 2008 Rio subcompacts because front passenger air bags might deploy when they shouldn't. Here's the earlier post on that one.
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration says the latest call-back is because a brake pedal mount in 21,912 of the 2009 Borregos, built May 2, 2008, through Jan. 20, 2009, isn't sturdy enough and could break in a crash.
That would leave the parking brake as the only way to keep the vehicle from continuing to roll or being involved in a second impact, NHTSA says.
Kia is to fix the problem free. The recall is campaign number SC096, and owners can contact Kia about it at 800-333-4542. NHTSA's hotline is 888-327-4236.
The Rio air bag recall is because a sensor in the front passenger's seat can malfunction and fail to keep the air bag from deploying if a child is sitting in that seat. Air bags can injure children because they can inflate too powerfully for child-size bodies. That's why many states have laws requiring kids to ride in back until a certain age.
