Consumer Description

My engine was replaced under the Kia PI1802Y/Z Engine Replacement Program in July of 2024 in August of 2025 after the replacement I began to smell gas in my vehicle and took my vehicle to the Kia dealership to find out what the issue was. They informed me that it was a fuel pump leak due to bad gaskets. I believe the engine replacement was done improperly and should be under the SC172 High Pressure Fuel Outlet Recall Campaign. I have reached out to Kia and the dealership. The dealership is being less than cooperative and Kia is not addressing the issue specifically. The gas leak was significant and was potentially dangerous. It would fill up my entire garage with fumes.
