Kia recalls Sorento and Carnival

Kia has issued a recall notice for its 2021 Sorento MQ4 and Carnival KA4 vehicles over a potential fuel leak problem, only affecting those with the 3.5-litre V6 Lambda engine fitted.

A total of 767 vehicles are involved, sold between January 27 and April 25, 2021, with the source of the issue coming from a potentially damaged fuel supply pipe during manufacturing, leading to a possibly fuel leak in the engine bay.

A fuel leak could lead to a fire, causing a high risk of injury to occupants of the car as well as those around it.
