Air bag light on instrument panel illuminated over night.(vehicle was stationary) rejection inspection sticker because of air bag light. KIA dealership says that the "passenger pressance module" IS messed up and IS causing air bag light to come on. Vehicle has never been wrecked, air bags have never deployed. Concern; over 72,000 '06- '08 KIA rios have been recalled for the exact same thing. But mine wasn't? And now my local dealership wants thousands of dollars to fix something that I feel like needs to be investigated.

KIA has a recall (nhtsa campaign number: 12v244000) for year 2006-2008 rio vehicles, my KIA rio IS a 2008 however it IS not listed under the vin due to I'm guessing being manufactured after the cut off date, however the air bag light has now come on and the passenger warning light no longer works. I had my car diagnosed today and KIA informed me it was the sensor in the passenger seat that had cracked. from the recall notification. the front passenger seat occupant sensor mat can experience fatigue cracking. If sufficient cracking occurs, the occupant classification system (ocs) will cease to function such that the system will not be able to detect whether a child passenger IS in the seat and the airbag will deploy during a crash necessitating deployment. I'm asking/wondering how I can get my vehicle on the recall list if possible. the dealership IS now telling me I need to have the entire seat replaced at $2500 to fix the issue. IS this how the sensor was repaired under the recall or are they able to replace just the cracked sensor? its sounding a little fishy that they cant replace just the sensor. my vehicle IS still at KIA so I don't have my vin# on me at the moment. I would like a reply if possible and can give my vin at that time. *tr

You can't buy just the sensor, you have to buy the seat which contains the sensor for $800. When I called KIA $ questioned the recall, I was told my vin did not qualify. Funny how I see so many complaints that read just like mine about a 2008 KIA rio. I think the recall should extend further to protect the consumer from being ripped off. *tr

I have a 2008 KIA rio. The air bag light on the dash came on may 30, 2011. The dealership says the air bags will not work with this light on. The car has 77,000 miles on it and the KIA dealership says that the airbag system IS not covered after 60,000 miles. I have been told that I would have to replace the entire passenger side seat to get the new sensor needed at a cost of over $500. For what I have read on internet forums, the airbag system sensors and/or wires to the system malfunctioning on the 2008 KIA rio seems to be a common problem, in addition to other models. When I spoke with the dealership in athens, ga, they indicated I could just wear my seat belt. I believe KIA needs to consider a recall. *tr
