Consumer Description

I BROUGHT MY 2016 KIA SORENTO IN THE DEALER FOR CHECK ENGINE LIGHT (CODE P0172). AFTER THE EVALUATED IT, THEY SAID THE FUEL PUMP AND FUEL LINES NEED TO BE REPLACED BECAUSE IT'S LEAKING FUEL INTO THE ENGINE AND THE ENGINE NEEDS AN OIL CHANGE BECAUSE THE OIL IS DILUTED WITH FUEL. THEY SAID THE FUEL PUMP AND FUEL LINE IS COVERED UNDER THE WARRANTY BUT THE OIL CHANGE ISN'T. THIS FUEL SYSTEM ISSUE IS EVERY SIMILAR TO THE RECALLS THAT WERE REPORTED ON JANUARY 17, 2019 BUT MY CAR DIDN'T FALL UNDER THE RECALL. COULD THIS BE PART OF THE RECALL? *TR
