The low pressure fuel hose on affected vehicles may deteriorate and crack over time due to heat generated within the engine compartment, NHTSA said. If the fuel hose cracks, a fuel leak can occur, increasing the risk of an engine fire.
Kia Motors will notify owners when a remedy is available. This recall began on April 16, 2020.
