Details
What's wrong: Affects vehicles equipped with 3.3L engines. The engine crankshaft may have been improperly heat treated and may fail.
Why it matters: If the crankshaft fails, the engine will stall, increasing the risk of a crash. A failed crankshaft also increases the risk of a fire.
The fix: Kia will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the crankshaft, and, as necessary, replace the engine sub assembly, free of charge. The recall began November 6, 2017.
