Known issues on the 2007 Rio5. One recall is on federal record for this model year, filed under the Rio, the nameplate that carries the Rio5's federal paperwork. It covers the frontal air bag sensor and control module going inactive: the front passenger seat occupant sensor mat can experience fatigue cracking, and air bag deployment with a child in the front passenger side seat increases the risk of injury. Owners have filed 64 complaints for the year and Kia has issued 23 technical service bulletins.
Whether the job is the occupant sensing system behind that recall or routine service on the 1.6L DOHC four, the procedure and the specification you follow are Kia's own for the 2007 Rio5.
