The 'airbag' dash light illuminates and the dealership has determined the cause of the failure is the sensor assembly located in the front passenger's seat cushion. This problem was addressed by a 'voluntary safety recall campaign' conducted by kia affecting "2006-2008 my Rio occupant classification system mat" but according to the local dealership my kia Rio manufactured in April 2007 was not included in this recall even though the problem/diagnosis/fix is identical.
