Details

Issue: When the engine was replaced under warranty or under Kia's Product Improvement Campaign SC023, the high pressure fuel pipe may not have been properly installed on the fuel pump outlet.

A fuel leak could occur if the pipe was damaged, misaligned or improperly torqued during the recall repair.

Safety Risk: Leaking fuel in the presence of an ignition source could increase the risk of a fire.

Corrective Actions: The company will notify owners by mail.

Owners will be instructed to take their vehicle to a dealer for an inspection.

If fuel leakage is detected, the fuel pipe will be replaced with a new one.
