Child Seat Notice
Kia Rio to replace UAS anchor bars for
children's restraint systems
April 19, 2006
Transport Canada and
Kia Canada Inc. are warning consumers that
certain Kia Rio vehicles do not comply
with Canada Motor Vehicle Safety Standard
(CMVSS) 210.2 – Lower Universal
Anchorage Systems for Restraint Systems and
Booster Cushions.
Models affected are the 2003, 2004 and
2005 Kia Rio.
The lower connector system (UAS connectors)
on a children's restraint system may be prevented
from attaching to the corresponding UAS anchor
bars in the vehicle seat bight due to interference
with the rear seat frame.
In the event of a crash, if the child restraint
system is not properly secured, personal
injury or death could occur.
Kia Canada is notifying all registered
owners of the non-compliance condition. Kia
Canada will be replacing the vehicle UAS
anchor bars.
All registered owners should
report to a Kia dealer to have the UAS anchor
bars replaced in their vehicle. If a notice
has not been received, then the consumer should
contact their dealer to make an appointment
for replacement. |
