Consumer Description

I HAVE A 2013 KIA FORTE WITH THE AIRBAG LIGHT ON. I FOUND A RECALL ON 2011-2013 KIA FORTE FOR AIR BAG: AIR BAG/RESTRAINT CONTROL MODULE WHERE IN AN EVENT OF A CRASH, THE AIR BAG CONTROL MAY SHORT CIRCUIT PREVENTING THE FRONTAL AIR BAGS AND SEAT BELT PRETENSIONERS FROM DEPLOYING. I LOOKED UP MY VIN # TO FIND OUT THAT IT WAS NOT ON THE LIST. IT WAS DIAGNOSED BY A KIA SERVICE DEPARTMENT TO BE THE DRIVER ANCHOR PRETENSIONER. MY QUESTION IS WHY MY FORTE IS NOT ON THE RECALL LIST? MY REQUEST IS TO HAVE MY VEHICLE PLACE ON THE LIST SO WE CAN HAVE THIS ISSUE TAKEN CARE OF. THANK YOU, MARY DENISE BROWN
