What Happened
The turbocharger oil feed pipe and hose in your K900 or Stinger is a critical part that sends oil to the turbocharger. In some 2018-2023 models with a 3.3-liter engine, this pipe and hose can break down and leak oil.
Risk if Unfixed
If the pipe and hose leak oil near the hot engine, it can cause a fire in the engine compartment while you're driving. This is a serious situation that could lead to a loss of control or a crash.
Free Fix
Your Kia dealer will replace the faulty pipe and hose with a new one at no cost to you. You should schedule the repair as soon as you receive the recall notice, which was mailed on April 26, 2024.
