What Happened
The brake master cylinder is the part that helps you press the brake pedal. In your 2020-2021 Kia Rio, the master cylinder might have sharp edges that can damage a small seal, causing your brakes to work less well.
Risk if Unfixed
If the brake master cylinder is damaged, it could take longer to press the pedal or travel further before the vehicle stops. This increases the risk of a crash, especially in emergency situations.
Free Fix
Your Kia dealer will replace the brake master cylinder with a new one that's designed to work smoothly, and the repair is completely free. You should schedule the fix as soon as you get the recall notice.
