Recalls

Issue: On certain vehicles, the piston oil rings may not have been manufactured properly and could damage the cylinder walls.

As a result, the engine could make abnormal noises, and a warning light may turn on.

If you continue to drive the vehicle with these symptoms, the engine could fail.

Note: This recall only affects certain vehicles equipped with a 2.0L MPI engine.

Safety Risk: An engine failure could cause a sudden loss of power to the wheels and/or increase the risk of a vehicle fire.

Both issues could increase the risk of a crash or injury.

Corrective Actions: Kia will notify owners by mail and advise you to take your vehicle to a dealership to inspect and, if necessary, replace the engine.

The dealer will also install a software that will monitor the engine and warn you if it detects a problem.

If you see this warning, you should contact a dealership to arrange replacement of the engine.
