Front Suspension Coil Spring problems of the 2006 Kia Motor Sedona

I took my kia into the dealer for a recall check on my control arms. The dealer found out my front left coil spring was in pieces along with the bearing. There was a recall on this but I never recieved one. I read where the van had to be made between Dec. 20, 2005 and March 20, 2006. If my van was made later then that then they still did not fix the corrosion problem. I had to pay for all repairs. I can't be the only one that this has happened to on a later made van.

The left front coil spring broke after I had parked the van at work. Later when I went out to go somewhere, I found a piece of metal about 8" long lying on the ground behind the left front tire. I thought that I sure hoped it had not come off of my car! when I got in and put the car in reverse, it would not move. I shifted to drive and it went forward, so I shifted back into reverse and tried to back up. There was a loud bang and the front end on the car dropped hard to the left. When I got out of the car, the tire was completely flat and I could actually see a flap sticking up from the inside wall of the tire. I later discovered that the coil spring had broken - that was the piece of metal I had found on the ground - and had stabbed the tire. It was corroded. After checking online I learned that there had been an issue with the front coil springs on 2006 kia Sedonas, that the finish would get corroded by road salt and water and the springs would break. A recall had been issued in 21 states, including michigan. When I contacted the dealer, I was told that the recall covered vehicles made from December 2005 to March 20, 2012. My van was made on April 18, 2012, and therefore was not covered by the recall because the 'issue had been resolved. ' why then did the spring break?.
