2023 Kia Seltos Complaints

The 2023 Kia Seltos has two recalls, both carrying fire risk: an electric oil pump that can overheat and ignite, and an engine that can stall or catch fire due to piston oil rings that may cause internal damage.

The oil pump concern involves the pump's electronic controller, which can fail and cause the pump to run too hot. On the engine side, piston oil rings may not have been made correctly, leading to internal engine damage that can cause the vehicle to stall unexpectedly or, in more serious cases, result in a fire.
