2020 KIA STINGER Recalls — Canada & USA

The 2020 Kia Stinger has 7 recalls, the most serious being a fire risk from the anti-lock brake control unit in the engine compartment, which can ignite while the vehicle is moving. Two separate fuel pump recalls also carry serious consequences: a blocked jet nozzle can starve the engine of fuel and cause a sudden loss of drive power, and a sticking fuel control valve plunger can cause over-pressurization in the high-pressure pump with the same result. Note that the fuel pump issues affect different model years, so not all vehicles are subject to both. On some models equipped with the 3.3-liter turbocharged engine, the left turbocharger oil feed hose can deteriorate and leak oil onto hot engine components, creating a second fire risk. Steering is also a concern on 2.0-liter turbo models, where a defect in the electric power steering assembly can cause the steering to lock up or become very heavy without warning. A software error in the instrument cluster can show an incorrect fuel level, potentially causing the engine to stall unexpectedly. The final recall corrects a tire pressure label that lists the wrong inflation value for the front tires.
