What is wrong

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.

TSBENG083_R12019-02-19. Service bulletin. TSB: SPECIAL SERVICE INFORMATION & SPECIFICATIONS FOR GDI HIGH PRESSURE FUEL SYSTEM - This bulletin has been revised to include additional information. This bulletin provides information relating to all Kia vehicles equipped with Gasoline Direct Injection (GDI) engines. In these engines highly pressurized gasoline is injected via a common fuel rail and injectors that deliver fuel directly into the combustion chamber of each cylinder. In comparison, in a conventional Multi-Point Fuel Injection (MPI) engine, the gasoline is injected into the intake port of each cylinder at a relatively low pressure. Due to high fuel pressure in a GDI system, servicing the GDI system requires special attention and handling procedures. This bulletin provides special service information and specifications for the GDI fuel system components.

A bulletin is the manufacturer's note to its dealers. It is not part of this recall.
