The 2014 Kia Forte Koup has 2 recalls, the most serious being a risk of engine compartment fire while the vehicle is being driven.
The second recall involves a small rubber pad in the brake pedal assembly that can deteriorate over time. When that pad breaks down, the brake light switch plunger stays extended even after the driver releases the pedal, causing the brake lights to stay on continuously. Following drivers have no way to tell when the brakes are actually being applied, which raises the risk of a rear-end collision.
