Kia has issued a recall for just 30 Sorento SUVs and K4 sedans from model year 2025 because loose bolts in their engines can cause engine failure.
The company tells the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) that some engines may have left the factory with improperly tightened connecting rod bolts. That can cause a rod to come loose, which can damage the engine, lead to an oil leak, and cause a loss of motive power.
Dealers will fix the issue by replacing the sub engine assembly, including the rods and bolts.
By law, dealers never charge for recall repairs.
Automakers recall many cars every year, sometimes more than once. They try to reach every owner to warn them. However, some fall through the system’s cracks and unknowingly drive recalled cars. Check our easy recall tool to determine if your vehicle has any outstanding recalls.
