What This Recall Means

Component

FUEL SYSTEM, OTHER:STORAGE:TANK ASSEMBLY:MOUNTING

What Happened
The straps that hold your fuel tank in place on your Spectra LD are made of metal and can corrode over time, especially if you live in an area with a lot of road salt.
Risk if Unfixed
If the straps corrode and break, your fuel tank could fall off the vehicle while you're driving, which could cause a fuel leak and increase the risk of a fire.

How to Get This Fixed

Free Fix
Your KIA dealer will replace the corroded straps and hardware with new, zinc-coated parts that won't corrode as easily, all at no cost to you.

Affected Vehicles
