Recalls: Kia Stinger
2017 and 2018 model year Kia CK Stinger: incorrect towbar label
In September 2018, recall campaign A00026 was issued for 2017 and 2018 model year Kia CK Stinger vehicles. For these vehicles, the towbar label specified incorrect load ratings and this could result in the towbar being used to tow objects above its maximum weight. If the towbar was overloaded, it could separate from the vehicle and pose a collision hazard for other road users. For the VINs of the recalled vehicles, please see PRA 2018/17010.
2020 Kia CK Stinger: insufficient fuel supply due to fuel pump’s jet nozzle housing
In October 2020, recall campaign 201097 was issued for Kia CK Stinger vehicles that were available for sale in Australia from 11 May 2020 to 22 July 2020. After the moulding process for the fuel pump’s jet nozzle housing, a plastic burr may remain and this could potentially block the nozzle. A blocked nozzle could result in insufficient fuel being supplied to the engine which, in turn, could cause the vehicle to lose power or stall. This condition could result in serious injury or death to vehicle occupants and other road users. For the VINs of the recalled vehicles, please see PRA 2020/18573.
