Kia is recalling 118,580 Cerato, Forte, Optima, Sorento and Sportage vehicles built between 2011 and 2018. The reason for the recall is the risk of stalling due to engine failure. In addition, oil or fuel could leak out and thus endanger the following traffic as well as lead to a fire hazard.
The engine is checked in the workshop and replaced if necessary. The KBA monitors the measure under the reference number “013054” and the manufacturer’s internal code is “230047“.
