Par conséquent, le moteur pourrait produire des bruits inhabituels et un voyant d'avertissement pourrait s'allumer. Si vous continuez de conduire le véhicule avec ces symptômes, le moteur pourrait faire défaut.\nRemarque : Ce rappel concerne seulement certains véhicules équipés d'un moteur MPI de 2,0 L.\n\nRisques pour la sécurité :\nUne défaillance du moteur pourrait entraîner une perte soudaine de puissance aux roues et/ou augmenter le risque d'incendie. Ces deux problèmes pourraient augmenter le risque d'accident ou de blessure.\n\nMesures correctives :\nKia doit aviser les propriétaires par la poste et leur demander d'amener leur véhicule chez un concessionnaire pour faire inspecter et, au besoin, remplacer le moteur. Le concessionnaire installera également un logiciel qui surveillera le moteur et affichera un avertissement s'il détecte un problème.
