What is wrong
On certain passenger vehicles equipped with power seats, the wiring under the front seats could be misrouted, allowing contact with metal seat components.
The risk
This contact could eventually result in a short circuit condition that may result in a fire in the junction box area of the vehicle.
The fix
Dealers will inspect and re-route the wires under the power seats, if necessary, as well as install protective seaming welts around those wires to better insulate them. The recall began on november 28, 2005. Owners may contact kia at 1-[removed].
