Approximately 51,500 model-year 2011-12 Kia Sedona minivans are being recalled because the fuel rail may crack from exposure to heat generated within the engine compartment, resulting in a fuel leak and increasing the risk of a fire.
Kia will begin notifying owners on April 16. Owners can call the automaker at 800-333-4542 or the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration’s vehicle-safety hotline at 888-327-4236 to learn more.
To fix the problem, dealers will replace the fuel rail.
Vehicle manufacturers are legally required to repair any recalled issues or replace the defective part for free under the Highway Safety Act of 1970. If the dealership refuses to fix the problem or attempts to charge you for the repair, contact the manufacturer immediately.
