Transport Canada Recall - 2019099 - KIA

Issue:
The engine oil pan seal could leak on some vehicles with a 2.4 L engine. If the leak is not repaired, over time this could lead to engine damage or an engine failure. An engine failure would cause a sudden loss of motive power with an inability to restart.

Safety Risk:
A sudden loss of motive power could increase the risk of a crash. In some cases, an engine failure may also result in a fire.

Corrective Actions:
Kia will notify owners by mail and instruct you to take your vehicle to a dealer to replace the oil pressure switch. If an oil leak is detected, the dealer will also replace the oil pan.
Note: A driver may notice any of the following symptoms before an engine failure: an oil leak under the vehicle, a smell of hot or burning oil, a knocking sound from the engine, reduced power or hesitation, a check engine light, and/or an oil pressure warning light.
