What This Recall Means

Component

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:DELIVERY

What Happened
The fuel intake nipple on your vehicle is a small part that helps connect the fuel system. It's prone to cracking or breaking when the fuel tube is removed or if someone accidentally hits it during maintenance.
Risk if Unfixed
If the intake nipple cracks, it could start leaking fuel, which could ignite and cause a fire if there's an open flame nearby.

How to Get This Fixed

Free Fix
Your Kia dealer will replace the faulty fuel distributor and main fuel tube assemblies at no cost to you. You should schedule the repair as soon as possible to ensure your safety on the road.
