Engine
Engine damage can cause a vehicle stall or fire, increasing the risk of a crash or injury.
The engine may stall or catch fire while driving. This is due to internal component piston rings being manufactured incorrectly, causing engine damage. This can lead to an accident.
You must contact and visit a Kia dealership to perform recall repairs on your Kia vehicle. The schedule for Kia to initially contact known owners of affected vehicles was during April, 2025. If you do not receive a notification, but wish to check to see if your vehicle is included, please contact one of your local Kia dealerships. They will also check for any other incomplete recalls on your vehicle. For best results, be prepared to provide your Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) to the service department consultant you speak with. The Kia recall designation is SC336.
