Kia Motors America is recalling 87 model year 2020-2021 Rio vehicles.

The automobile manufacturer noted the brake master cylinder may have been manufactured with sharp edges that can damage the inner oil seal, resulting in reduced braking performance.

Accordingly, reduced braking performance can cause longer brake pedal travel or extend the distance required to stop the vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash, said the company.

As regards what to do in reftifying the error, Kia Motors said dealers would replace the brake master cylinder free of charge.

Owner notification letters were expected to be mailed January 11, 2022.

Affected vehicle owners may contact Kia Customer Service on (800) 333-4542, and Kia’s number for this recall SC223.
