Kia America has announced a major recall affecting more than 250,000 K5 vehicles across the United States. The recall is linked to a fuel tank issue that may cause a potential fire hazard. According to the company, a key part near the fuel tank may loosen or fail over time. This can lead to fuel leakage, which increases the risk of fire while driving or even when the car is parked.
Kia is urging all affected K5 owners to bring their vehicles to an authorized service center as soon as possible. Technicians will inspect the fuel tank area and replace faulty parts at no cost. The company has stated that this recall is a preventive step meant to protect drivers, passengers, and property.
The K5 is one of Kia’s popular sedan models, and this large recall highlights the brand’s effort to maintain customer safety and trust. Drivers may also receive recall notices by mail or through digital alerts. Kia’s dealer network is prepared to manage the high number of vehicles needing inspection.
This recall serves as an important reminder for car owners to act quickly when safety alerts are issued. Regular checks and timely repairs can reduce risk and keep vehicles operating safely.
