Regular price
$29.99 USD
Unit price

- 1.8L inline-four — DOHC, naturally aspirated, gasoline
Body styles covered
- 4-door sedan
Trims covered

- RS
Known issues on the 1996 Sephia. One recall is on federal record for this model year, and it covers the front seat belt buckle assembly: on certain passenger vehicles the safety belt buckle may "false latch" and expose the driver to unrestrained movement during a crash, meaning that in the event of a crash the seat occupant may not be properly restrained. Owners have filed 203 complaints for the year and Kia has issued 10 technical service bulletins.
Whether you are confirming a seat belt buckle truly latches after that recall or working through a service interval on the 1.6L or 1.8L four, it keeps you on Kia's own procedure and the correct specification for your specific 1996 Sephia.
ON CERTAIN PASSENGER VEHICLES, THE SAFETY BELT BUCKLE MAY "FALSE LATCH" AND EXPOSE THE DRIVER TO UNRESTRAINED MOVEMENT DURING A CRASH.
Consequence
IN THE EVENT OF A CRASH, THE SEAT OCCUPANT MAY NOT BE PROPERLY RESTRAINED, INCREASING THE RISK OF PERSONAL INJURY.
