The airbag warning light came on my 2013 kia Rio lx sometime shortly after the mileage hit 80,000 miles. It would go on and then turn off. It did this for a little while but now it stays on all the time. I called kia to ask if there had been any recalls on the air bags and they told me no. Then I was told that it would be $350-$400 just to check it out. I have seen many reports of this by other kia Rio owners on this website. This has become a common problem and there should be a recall for this problem.

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 thay 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.
