- Published by: Transport Canada \(Canada\)
- Campaign number: 2019098

- Reported: 2019\-02\-27
- Component: Fuel System
- Notification type: Safety Mfr

## What is wrong

Issue:

When the engine was replaced under warranty or under Kia's Product Improvement Campaign SC023, the high pressure fuel pipe may not have been properly installed on the fuel pump outlet. A fuel leak could occur if the pipe was damaged, misaligned or improperly torqued during the recall repair.

Safety Risk:

Leaking fuel in the presence of an ignition source could increase the risk of a fire.

Corrective Actions:

The company will notify owners by mail. Owners will be instructed to take their vehicle to a dealer for an inspection. If fuel leakage is detected, the fuel pipe will be replaced with a new one.
