My airbag light had come on. Then when I go to gasbuddy, it states that there is a recall involving the airbag on a 2006 kia Rio that was made from February 20th 2005 to 2007. However my VIN number shows that there is no recall on my car. I think it's more than a coincidence that there's a recall and my sensor is on. If someone is killed because of this sensor OH, I will be suing kia, and anyone else that blatantly disregarded my complaint.
