Kia Stinger Recalls
Summary
Issue: On certain vehicles, the left turbocharger oil feed pipe and hose assembly could become damaged by heat from the exhaust. If this happens, oil could leak onto hot components. Note: This recall only affects vehicles equipped with a 3.3 L turbo (T-GDI) engine. Safety Risk: Oil that leaks onto hot components can create the risk of a fire. Corrective Actions: Kia will notify owners by mail and advise you to take your vehicle to a dealership to replace the left turbocharger oil feed pipe and hose assembly.
Summary
Issue: On certain vehicles equipped with a 2.0 L turbo engine, the high-pressure fuel pump could fail. If this happens, the engine could suddenly lose power and stall while driving. Safety Risk: A sudden loss of engine power could increase the risk of a crash. Corrective Actions: Kia will notify owners by mail and advise you to take your vehicle to a dealership to inspect the high-pressure fuel pump, and replace it if necessary. The dealer will also update the engine control unit software to prevent a loss of engine power while driving.
Summary
Issue: On a small number of vehicles, the fuel gauge may display a higher fuel level than what is actually present in the fuel tank. This could cause a driver to believe there is fuel when the tank is empty. As a result, the vehicle could run out of fuel and stall. Safety Risk: A sudden loss of engine power could increase the risk of a crash. Corrective Actions: Kia will notify owners by mail and instruct you to take your vehicle to a dealer to update the instrument cluster software.
Summary
Issue: On certain cars equipped with a 2.0 L T-GDI engine, an engine compartment fire could occur while driving. Kia believes that a fire could start in or near the brake Hydraulic Electronic Control Unit (HECU). Note: This recall does not affect vehicles equipped with Smart Cruise Control (SCC). Safety Risk: The car could catch fire while driving. Corrective Actions: Kia will notify owners by mail and instruct you to take your vehicle to a dealer to install a new fuse kit. The kit contains two new fuses of 25A instead of 40A, which are designed to prevent an over-current condition. Note: You may have received a notice from Kia in December 2020 to advise that your vehicle was not part of this recall, however this is a NEW recall expansion. Contact Kia Canada or your local dealer if you have any questions about this recall.
Summary
Issue: On certain vehicles, the tire inflation pressure label lists the wrong cold tire pressure for the front tires (36 psi/250 kPa instead of 38 psi/260 kPa). Canadian regulations require that the recommended cold tire inflation pressure for the front, rear, and spare tires is listed on the label. Safety Risk: This small error does not affect vehicle safety. Corrective Actions: This is not a recall. Kia has made changes to ensure that all new vehicles have corrected tire inflation pressure on the label.
