Kia is conducting this recall as a preventative measure to prevent fire risk due to potential fuel leaks, oil leaks and/or engine damage. In some situations, you may notice any of the following symptoms: there could be an abnormal knocking noise from the engine; the check engine light and/or the oil pressure warning light could turn on; you may smell fuel, burning or smoke; or you may notice oil leaks. If you continue to drive the vehicle with these symptoms, the engine could fail and/or a fire could occur.  An engine failure can cause a sudden loss of power with an inability to restart.\nNote: For the Optima model, only the Optima Hybrid is affected by this recall.\n\nSafety Risk:\nAn engine compartment fire can create a risk of injury. A sudden loss of engine power could increase the risk of a crash.\n\nCorrective Action:\nKia will notify owners by mail and instruct you to take your vehicle to a dealer for an inspection of the engine and engine compartment. The dealer will inspect for fuel and/or engine oil leaks, perform an engine test and make any repairs, including engine replacement, if necessary. Kia will also perform a Knock Sensor Detection System (KSDS) software update free of charge, once it is available for your vehicle. This update will detect and prevent engine damage from worn connecting rod bearings.","mfr_campaign":"RC140","units":39658,"do_not_drive":null,"park_outside":null,"notification":"Safety TC","match":"exact","models":["FORTE","FORTE KOUP"],"built_from":null,"built_to":null,"url":"https://open.wenmarpro.com/recalls/tc/2020597"},{"source":"nhtsa","country":"us","campaign":"20V750000","date":"2020-12-02","manufacturer":"Kia Motors America","component":"ENGINE","summary":"Kia Motors America (Kia) is recalling certain 2012-2013 Sorento, 2012-2015 Forte and Forte Koup, 2011-2013 Optima Hybrid, 2014-2015 Soul, and 2012 Sportage vehicles.
