2014 KIA SPORTAGE Recall

Campaign:
14V023000 on 01/28/2014
Component:
Equipment:other:labels
Manufactured:
09/29/2013 - 01/10/2014
Affected:
11,961
Defect:
Kia motors corporation (kia) is recalling certain model year 2014 kia sportage vehicles manufactured september 30, 2013, through january 11, 2014. the certification label has incorrect tire pressure information printed on it, listing a specification that is 1 or 2 psi below the correct information. thus, these vehicles do not conform to federal motor vehicle safety standard (fmvss) 110, "tire selection and rims for passenger cars."
Consequence:
Maintaining tire pressure below the recommmend specification could result in premature tire wear, increasing the risk of a crash.
Correction:
Kia will notify owners, and dealers will correct the label information, and owners will also receive a sticker to put into the owners manual, free of charge. the recall is expected to begin in february 2014. owners may contact kia at 1-800-333-4542. kia's recall campaign number is sc103.
Notes:
Owners may also contact the national highway traffic safety administration vehicle safety hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (tty 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov.
