What is wrong
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.
