Vehicles Affected: Approximately 79,867 model-year 2006-12 Kia Sedona minivans (manufactured from June 15, 2005, through Aug. 14, 2012) and 15,500 2007-08 Hyundai Entourage minivans (manufactured from Feb. 16, 2006, through June 30, 2008).
The Problem: In the affected vehicles, the front lower control arms may break due to corrosion from prolonged exposure to road salt. This could cause a loss of vehicle control.

The Fix: Hyundai and Kia dealers will inspect and replace the affected parts for free.
