What is being recalled
Kia Motors America (Kia) is recalling certain 2013-2014 Optima vehicles equipped with 2.4L Gasoline Direct Injection (GDI) or 2.0L GDI Turbo engines. The low pressure fuel hose may deteriorate and crack over time due to heat generated within the engine compartment.
Why it is dangerous
If the fuel hose cracks, a fuel leak can occur, increasing the risk of a fire.
