What Happened
Your Kia Soul or Seltos may be recalled due to an issue with the piston oil rings in your 2.0L engine. This part helps keep engine oil where it should be, and if it's not working right, it can cause problems.
Risk if Unfixed
If your engine is damaged, it could stall while you're driving, which increases the risk of a crash. Also, oil might leak onto hot parts and cause a fire.
Free Fix
Kia will inspect and replace your engine for free if necessary, and they'll also update the software on your vehicle to help prevent future issues. They'll contact you when the work is ready, and you can reach them at 1-800-333-4542 with Kia's recall number SC209.
