What is wrong

Until the recall repair is completed, follow the instructions provided by your child seats manufacturer on how to properly install the child seat with your vehicle's rear safety belts rather than using the latch system.
Risk
In the event of a vehicle crash, if the child seat is not properly installed, personal injury or death could occur.
Remedy
Dealers will replace the lower anchors free of charge. The recall began on january 30, 2006. Owners may contact kia at 1‑800‑333‑4542.
