Details

What's wrong: Affects vehicles equipped with 2.4L gasoline direct injection (gdi) or 2.0L gdi Turbo engines. The low pressure fuel hose may deteriorate and crack over time due to heat generated within the engine compartment.

Why it matters: If the fuel hose cracks, a fuel leak can occur, increasing the risk of a fire.

The fix: Kia will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the low pressure fuel hose for damage or leaking, replacing it as necessary. If no damage or leaking is found, a heat-protective tape will be installed. Repairs will be performed free of charge. The recall began June 12, 2020.
