What is wrong
Issue:
On certain cars equipped with a 3.3 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.
