SUBJECT:
SAFETY CAMPAIGN: 2002-2004 SEDONA EX POWER SEAT WIRE HARNESS REPAIR
This bulletin provides information on a safety recall campaign for 2002-2004MY Sedona EX vehicles produced through 12/1/03. Kia is recalling these vehicles to repair an electrical wiring concern in the power seat assemblies; as the wiring may be misrouted. This could allow the wiring to become pinched or to rub against the metal seat track, which could cause the electronic circuit breaker in the interior fuse box to overheat.
Use the procedures in this recall campaign to insulate the metal seat track to prevent the wire harness from coming into contact with the seat track.
* NOTICE
There is no charge to the vehicle owner for this repair. Under applicable law, you may not sell or otherwise deliver any affected 2002-2004 Sedona until it has been repaired, pursuant to the procedures set forth in this bulletin.
