- What it can cause
- A fuel leak in the presence of an ignition source can increase the risk of a fire.
- What the dealer does
- Dealers will install a cover around the fuel line, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed January 10, 2025. Owners may contact Kia customer service at 1-800-333-4542. Kia's number for this recall is SC328.
- NHTSA's note
- Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153) or go to nhtsa.gov.
The repair is free, whatever the age or mileage of the vehicle, and whether or not you are the original owner.
Which vehicles
A recall reaches a range of VINs inside these model years, not every car built in them. Yours may not be covered even if it is listed here, and the only way to find out is NHTSA's own VIN lookup .

How this campaign compares
At 1,385 vehicles this is a bigger campaign than 62% of the 19,818 vehicle recalls filed since 1995 whose size NHTSA published. The middle campaign on file covers 472. It covers one model year, 2025, and the defect was reported to NHTSA in 2024, at or before the oldest model year it covers — as current as a recall gets.
Kia vehicles have been recalled over the fuel system, gasoline 17 times before this, most recently in September 2023 as 23V634000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
This site holds the complaint record for all 1 model year the campaign names. Their owners have filed 9 complaints with NHTSA. 1 of those name the fuel system, gasoline, the system this recall is about — a count of complaints, not of this defect.
The vehicles on this campaign carry 2 other recalls published here: 26V046000 (electrical system), 25V006000 (electrical system).
Check your own car
A VIN check is the only answer for a specific vehicle, and it also shows every other open recall on it, which is usually the reason it is worth doing rather than reading one campaign.
Filed by Kia America, Inc. with NHTSA on December 10, 2024 as campaign 24V920000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
