Kia recalls certain Picanto and ceed models
Posted by Tom Benjamin
Kia has recalled certain models in its Picanto and ceed ranges after ongoing product testing and monitoring revealed that some require remedial work to avoid possible safety issues.
According to the manufacturer, it has identified that up to 468 ceed models with front fog light bulbs could suffer from insufficient brake force from the master cylinder on vehicles featuring Electronic Stability Programme systems.
Additionally, with the Picanto, the harsh 2009-2010 weather conditions have revealed that where high levels of de-icing materials have been used, there is a possibility that material in the fuel filter neck seal could be damaged and a fuel leak could occur.
Hamish McCowan, director of after-sales and logistics, said safety is "always a top priority" and our ongoing product assessment and research has revealed these two potential problems.
"We have immediately put in place a process to contact owners and the work will be conducted by Kia dealers at a convenient time for customers," he said.
