The 2013 Kia Soul has two recalls, the more serious being an engine issue where high exhaust temperatures can damage the catalytic converter, leading to piston failure, a stalled engine, or a broken connecting rod that punctures the engine block and spills oil. This recall only affects vehicles with the 1.6L direct injection engine. The second recall affects sunroof-equipped models: a headliner plate near the roofline can break free when the curtain airbag deploys in a crash, becoming a loose object inside the cabin that raises the risk of injury to occupants.

ENGINE

Defect

Kia Motors America (Kia) is recalling certain 2012-2016 Kia Soul vehicles equipped with 1.6L Gasoline Direct Injection (GDI) engines. High exhaust gas temperatures may damage the catalytic converter, possibly resulting in abnormal engine combustion and damage to one or more of the engine's pistons and possible piston connecting rod failure.

Safety Risk

Piston damage may result in an engine stall, increasing the risk of a crash. A broken connecting rod may puncture the engine block allowing engine oil to escape. The leaking oil may contact the exhaust, increasing the risk of a fire.

Remedy

Kia will notify owners, and dealers will upgrade the Catalytic Overheating Protection Engine Control Unit logic to prevent overheating of the catalytic converter. In addition, the catalytic converter will also be replaced if it has been damaged. Depending on the extent of any damage, the engine may also be replaced, free of charge. The recall began April 17, 2019. Owners may contact Kia customer service at 1-800-333-4542. Kia's number for this recall is SC176.
