AIR BAGS:FRONTAL:SENSOR/CONTROL MODULE-INACTIVE
What Happened
The front passenger seat sensor in your Kia Rio is a critical part that helps the airbag system decide whether to deploy during a crash. This sensor is prone to cracking and could stop working over time.
Risk if Unfixed
If the sensor fails, the airbag won't know if there's a child in the front passenger seat. In a crash, the airbag could deploy with a child present, which could cause serious injury to that child.
Free Fix
Your Kia dealer will replace the faulty sensor mat with a new one at no cost to you. You should schedule the repair as soon as possible to ensure your child's safety.
