Plain-English summary
Kia is recalling certain 2018-2023 Kia Stinger and 2019-2020 K900 vehicles equipped with 3.3-liter turbo gasoline direct injection engines. The left turbocharger oil feed pipe and hose assembly in these vehicles may deteriorate over time and leak oil.
When the oil feed pipe deteriorates and leaks, the oil can come into contact with hot engine components. This creates a fire risk in the engine compartment while the vehicle is driving.
If you own one of these vehicles, Kia has notified owners by mail (notification letters were sent April 26, 2024). Dealers will replace the left turbocharger oil feed pipe and hose assembly at no charge. To schedule service, contact Kia customer service at 1-800-333-4542. You can also reach the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153) or visit www.nhtsa.gov.
