The secondary latch that gives support to the hood easily pops up open. This rusts and binds the hood, posing a danger to the driver and its passengers.
This poses a very dangerous threat to the lives of the vehicle's passengers because of the variety of accidents that may happen as a result of this defective feature. This is similar to more than a hundred thousand recalled vehicles that are all manufactured by Nissan.
This is very dangerous because the hood may suddenly open while the vehicle is moving. This is because it is not fully closed. This would make the secondary latch to be stuck in an open position.
The consumer market should be aware of this to refrain from further accidents to happen. To refrain from further lawsuits to happen due to a series of possible manufacturing negligence claims, Kia has opted to recall its Sedona minivans despite the negative reputation that they will get out of this.
This has affected the marketability of the second-generation 2006-2014 Sedona in many ways. It is forecasted that Kia minivan sales would decrease to 30% as a result of this recall.
As of this moment, it is still unclear if the Hyundai Entourage will also be in a recall. This is possible because it has a similar platform with the Kia Sedona.
The latch will be replaced in 27 U.S. states including Washington, D.C. The car dealers will also inspect the latch, and add additional lubrication to it. If needed, a replacement will also be carried out.
Vehicle owners will receive recall notifications through the mail by the end of July.
