Kia is recalling 96,000 Sedona minivan to repair a corrosion issue.
Nearly 100,000 Kia Sedona minivans are being recalled to fix problems related to corrosion in cold weather climates in the United States and Canada.
The recall affects Sedona minivans from 2006 through 2012 sold or registered in Canada and in 20 U.S. states and Washington, D.C., where salt is on the roads in winter.
The salt may cause the lower control arms near the wheels to rust and break due to salt exposure, causing loss of control, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA).
Kia dealers will inspect the parts and rustproof or replace them starting next month.
