Defect:
Kia is recalling certain model year 2004-2007 spectra ld vehicles manufactured from november 7, 2003, through march 6, 2007, originally sold, or currently registered in, connecticut, delaware, illinois, indiana, iowa, maine, maryland massachusetts, michigan, minnesota, missouri, new hampshire, new jersey, new york, ohio, pennsylvania, rhode island, vermont, west virginia, wisconsin, and the district of columbia. there is a possibility that corrosion of the fuel tank straps which hold the tank may occur as a result of prolonged exposure to road salt. as a result of the corrosion, one or both straps may separate allowing the fuel tank to contact the ground and possibly disrupt the integrity of the tank.

The fuel tank can fall from the vehicle and strike the ground which could cause a fuel leak. leaking fuel can create a fire hazard.
