## Canada (Transport Canada), as of 2026-10-19

- [2025083](/recalls/tc/2025083.md), 2025-02-18: Engine. Issue: On certain vehicles, the piston oil rings may not have been manufactured properly and could damage the cylinder walls. As a result, the engine could make abnormal noises, and a warning light may turn on. If you continue to drive the vehicle with these symptoms, the engine could fail. Note: This recall only affects certain vehicles equipped with a 2.0L MPI engine.  Safety Risk: An engine failure could cause a sudden loss of power to the wheels and/or increase the risk of a vehicle fire. Both issues could increase the risk of a crash or injury.  Corrective Actions: Kia will notify owners by mail and advise you to take your vehicle to a dealership to inspect and, if necessary, replace the engine. The dealer will also install a software that will monitor the engine and warn you if it detects a problem. If you see this warning, you should contact a dealership to arrange replacement of the engine.
- [2024549](/recalls/tc/2024549.md), 2024-08-15: Label. Issue: On certain vehicles, the compliance label may be missing information in French. The words listed on the label for "Tires", "Rims", "Front" and "Rear" appear in English only, when they should be listed as "Tires/Pneus", "Rims/Jantes", "Front/Avant" and "Rear/Arriere". Canadian regulations require this information to be listed on the label in both English and French.  Safety Risk: These small errors do not affect vehicle safety.  Corrective Actions: This is not a recall. Kia has corrected the compliance label for all new vehicles.
- [2024093](/recalls/tc/2024093.md), 2024-02-14: Electrical. Issue: On certain vehicles, the 4WD control unit under the driver's seat may become contaminated by a mixture of salt and moisture inside the vehicle. Over time, this can lead to corrosion that could cause a short circuit. Note: This recall only affects vehicles equipped with all\-wheel drive.  Safety Risk: A short circuit can create a fire risk, even while the vehicle is parked and turned off.  Corrective actions: Kia will notify owners by mail and advise you to take your vehicle to a dealership to inspect the 4WD control unit. The control unit and other components will be replaced as necessary. The dealer will also install a protective cover over the 4WD control unit. Kia advises that you should park your vehicle outdoors and away from other vehicles or structures until the recall repairs have been completed.
- [2023421](/recalls/tc/2023421.md), 2023-08-01: Powertrain. Issue: On certain vehicles, the circuit board in the electric oil pump assembly for the transmission may be damaged.
