2003 Kia Rio

On certain vehicles, the rear outboard seat belts Automatic Locking Retractor (ALR) may disengage when used with certain child seats.  If this occurs the child seat will only be restrained by the Emergency Locking Retractor (ELR) function. As a result certain child seats may not be properly secured.  Correction: Dealers will replace both rear outboard seat belt assemblies.

Certain vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of CMVSS 210.2.  The child restraint fixture anchor may contact the rear seat back frame.  This interference prevents the forward most portion of the anchor from adequately penetrating the child lower anchors.  In the event of a crash, if the child seat is not properly secured, personal injury or death could occur.  Correction: Dealers will replace the child lower anchors.

On certain vehicles, the fuel intake nipple of the fuel distributor is subject to fracture or cracking during removal of the quick connect coupling securing the main fuel tube assembly to the fuel intake nipple, or when force is accidentally applied to the intake nipple during the vehicle assembly process or during engine compartment repairs.  If this occurs, fuel leakage can result and fire may occur if an ignition source is present.  Correction:  Dealer will install a redesigned fuel distributor and main fuel tube assembly.
