2012 Kia Sedona
Kia Motors Corp. is recalling 79,867 2006-2012 model-year Kia Sedona minivans that were originally sold in, or are currently registered in, states where road salt is widely used for snow removal.
The vehicles’ exposure to such corrosive material can eventually cause the front lower control arms to break, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration reported. The driver may lose control of the vehicle as a result.

The recall covers Sedona vehicles manufactured from June 15, 2005, through August 14, 2012. The recalled vehicles are in Massachusetts, Maryland, Michigan, New Hampshire, New York, Pennsylvania, Vermont, Wisconsin, Connecticut, Delaware, Iowa, Illinois, Indiana, Maine, Minnesota, Missouri, New Jersey, Ohio, Rhode Island and West Virginia. The District of Columbia is also included.
Kia dealers will inspect these vehicles to assess the level of corrosion. The front lower control arms will either be rustproofed or replaced, free of charge.
The recall is set to begin in December. Vehicle owners can reach Kia at 1-800-4542.
Distracted driving remains one of the most persistent risks in fleet operations. New approaches focus on removing mobile device use entirely while adding real-time safety support.
As distraction risks evolve, fleets are turning to smarter, more connected technologies to better understand what’s happening behind the wheel. Part 2 explores how these tools are helping identify risky behaviors and improve visibility across operations.
Distracted driving is often measured by what we can see—phones in hand, eyes off the road. But what about the distractions we can’t? A recent incident raises a bigger question about awareness, attention, and why subtle risks so often go unnoticed.
Fleets have more driver data than ever, so why isn't behavior changing? Training requires more than reports and coaching — it requires real-world practice.
A two-part conversation with Stefan Heck on how AI is transforming the fight against distracted driving. As fleets adopt smarter tools, the focus shifts from reacting to preventing risk. In Part 1, we look at where AI is making an impact for fleets today.
An 11% drop in pedestrian fatalities in early 2025 signals progress in U.S. road safety, but elevated death rates and ongoing risks underscore the need for continued action from fleets and policymakers.
