THERE IS I RECALL ON THE SAME YEAR MAKE AND MODEL OF MY CAR EXCEPT THE ENGINE THEY SAY IS THE OR CYLINDER AND NOT THE 6 BUT I HAVE HAD A BLOWN HEAD GASKET SINCE I BOUGHT A CAR FROM A DEALERSHIP CERTIFIED PRE OWNED AND STILL PAYING ON IT HOWEVER MY CALL GETS SO HOT THAT I HAVE TO PULL OVER A LOT TO LET IT COOL OFF AND I PUT ALOT OF MONEY IN ANTIFREEZE AND WATER. THEY WILL NOT WORK WITH ME AT KIA DEALERSHIP THEY ARE SAYING THERES NO RECALL ON THE V6 ONLY 4 CYLINDER AND I DONT HAVE $3200.00 TO JUST PAY FOR IT TO BE DONE.
