ON 05/07/2019, I TOOK MY CAR TO JOE MYERS KIA FOR A REPAIR IN REGARDS TO SAFETY RECALL SC176. MY CATALYTIC CONVERTER WAS REPLACED AND MY CAR WAS RETURNED TO ME ON 05/13/2019. ACCORDING TO SAFETY RECALL SC176 BULLET 4, THIS RECALL WAS TO PREVENT EXCESSIVE EXHAUST TEMPERATURES, WHICH COULD CAUSE DAMAGE TO THE PISTON CONNECTION ROD. DAMAGE TO THIS ROD COULD PUNCTURE THE ENGINE BLOCK, ALLOWING OIL TO ESCAPE AND POTENTIALLY CONTACT A HOT EXHAUST SURFACE. WEEKS AFTER MY CAR WAS REPAIRS I NOTICED THAT MY CAR WAS NOW BURNING OIL AT AN EXCESSIVE RATE, AND I WAS NOW REPLACING OIL EVERY 1,000 TO 1500 MILES. THIS ISSUE CONTINUED FROM JUNE THROUGH OCTOBER. I HAD THE CAR EXAMINED FOR OIL LEAKS, BUT NONE COULD BE FOUND. AFTER MY 10/06/2019 OIL AND GENERAL SERVICE, IT WAS SUGGESTED THAT THERE'S A CHANCE THAT OIL WAS GETTING INTO THE ENGINE BLOCK. ON 12/05/2019, MY ENGINE BEGAN TO MISFIRE AND KNOCK LOUDLY WHILE TRAVELING ON THE HIGHWAY AT 70 MPH. AFTER GETTING THE CAR OFF OF THE HIGHWAY AND INTO A GAS STATION I CHECKED THE DIP STICK. IT INDICATED THAT THE ENGINE DID NOT HAVE ANY OIL IN IT, BUT THE OIL LIGHT NEVER CAME ON. I ALSO HAD AN OIL SERVICE IN OCTOBER AND HAD NOT DONE MUCH DRIVING SINCE THEN. ON 12/07/19 I TOWED MY CAR TO MY MECHANIC AND AFTER EXAMINATION INFORMED ME THAT PISTONS 3 AND 4 WERE MISFIRING AND WERE DAMAGED. I CONTACTED JOE MYERS KIA, AS THEY WERE THE ONES THAT RECENTLY REPAIRED MY CAR UNDER RECALL SC176, AND WAS INSTRUCTED TO BRING THE CAR TO THE NEAREST KIA DEALERSHIP FOR EXAMINATION. ON 12/10/19 I TOWED THE CAR TO FREDY KIA FOR AN ENGINE DIAGNOSIS AND FOLLOWING DAY I RECEIVED A CALL NOTIFYING ME THAT MY 1.6L ENGINE THREW A PISTON ROD AND I WOULD HAVE TO GET THE ENGINE REPLACED. THE SOUL ONLY HAS 109,775 MILES ON IT, IS SERVICED REGULARLY, AND BARELY AVERAGES OVER 12,000 MILES ANNUALLY.

EA21003 · Engine Fires

Opened Dec 22, 2021 · Closed Feb 5, 2024

Status: closed (inferred from source dates) · Engine

On March 29, 2019, the Office of Defects Investigation (ODI) opened two Preliminary Evaluations (PE19-003 on Hyundai and PE19-004 on Kia) to broadly investigate incidents of non-crash fires (regardless of origin or operational status of the vehicle) on various model year Hyundai and Kia vehicles.  During the PE investigations, Hyundai and Kia issued several recalls to address vehicle fires, including those due to engine failures involving various engine types.  The remedies for the engine failure recalls typically involve engine inspection (to detect existing damage), and if necessary, engine replacement.  Additionally, both manufacturers have been installing an engine control software modification known as Knock Sensor Detection Software (KSDS) which is intended to detect impending engine failure, alert the driver, and limit engine power (to lessen likelihood of engine failure).KSDS is being installed under recalls and non-safety field actions, and both companies have extended limited engine warranties (see recall files). On December 22, 2021, ODI upgraded PE19-003 and PE19-004 to this Engineering Analysis (EA21-003, covering both Hyundai and Kia) to evaluate the scope of the prior recalls related to engine failures/fires and the efficacy of the recall remedies for the recalls, as well as the long-term viability of related programs and non-safety field actions being conducted by Hyundai and Kia.  The former issue involved approximately 550,000 MY 2013 Hyundai Elantra, MY 2011 Kia Sorento, and MY 2012-2015 Kia Rio.  The latter issue involved approximately 2.5 million recalled vehicles, which have been identified as displaying potential remedy concerns: Hyundai recalls 15V-568, 17V-226, 20V-746, and 21V-727; and Kia recalls 17V-224, 19V-120, 20V-750, and 21V-844. Regarding the recall scope issue, among all of the scope vehicles identified at EA opening, ODI found only the MY 2011 Kia Sorento vehicles equipped with both the Theta II 2.4L 4-cylinder Multi-Point Injection (MPI) and the Lambda II 3.5L 6-cylinder MPI engines experienced relatively high rates of reported fires.  In December 2023, Kia issued recall 23V-877 that will cover about 80,000 MY 2011 Kia Sorento vehicles equipped with the Theta II 2.4L MPI engines.  The remedy will involve an inspection, and if necessary, a replacement of the engine, as well as the installation of KSDS.  It should be noted that in 2021 these vehicles were included in a KSDS product improvement campaign with warranty extension.  For the MY 2011 Sorento vehicles equipped with the Lambda II 3.5L engines, ODI believes that future engine failures/fires involving these vehicles will likely be due to a lax in adhering to the proper or scheduled engine maintenance (regular engine oil changes), rather than a design or manufacturing engine issue. Regarding the issue of the efficacy of the recall remedies, ODI found the majority of the recalled Hyundai and Kia vehicles, by model, experienced lower reported fire rates after the remedies were applied.  Furthermore, ODI found that for most vehicles that did not receive the recall remedies, by model, experienced relatively high fire rates.  To address this problem, Hyundai informed ODI in December 2023, that it will renotify all of its owners covered by the Hyundai recalls of engine failures/fires every 8 months for the next 3 years.  In December 2023, Kia stated that it will renotify the majority of its owners every 8 months for the next 3 years.Several previously recalled Kia models are excluded from the renotification due to their lower reported rates of engine fires.  Overall, the renotification actions will help to increase the recall completion rates, thus reduce the frequency of engine fires in the future. In view of the recall action being taken by Kia and renotification actions being taken by both Kia and Hyundai, ODI is closing this Engineering Analysis.  Also, both companies have been released from the 2020-iniated Consent Orders (Kia since November 2022 and Hyundai since November 2023).  The agency reserves the right to take additional action if warranted by future circumstances.  To review the reports cited in the Closing Resume ODI Report Identification Number document, go to NHTSA.gov.

During this Preliminary Evaluation (PE), the Office of Defects Investigation (ODI) assessed the scope, frequency and potential safety-related consequences of non-crash vehicle fires caused by both engine failures and failures of other vehicle systems/components in model year (MY) 2011-2014 Kia Optima, MY 2011-2014 Kia Sorento and MY 2010-2015 Kia Soul vehicles equipped with Theta II, Gamma, Nu and Lambda II engines (approximately 1.7 million vehicles). ODI also reviewed field and other data on other Kia vehicles (approximately 3.6 million additional vehicles) equipped with the same engines used in the above-mentioned vehicles.As a result of this PE, Kia has issued NHTSA Recalls 20V-750 and 21V-844 to address potential engine failures and fires in certain Kia vehicles equipped with various engine types.Additional information on these and other related recall actions is available in the downloadable version of this resume available at NHTSA.gov.In addition, ODI has upgraded this PE to an Engineering Analysis (EA) 21-003 which will focus on potential recall scope concerns and recall remedy concerns related to the engine failure-related recalls mentioned above and conducted previously.See the EA21-003 Opening Resume available at NHTSA.gov for more information.Also available in the downloadable version of this resume is a list of the reference numbers for the 444 ODI reports, or Vehicle Owner Questionnaires (VOQs), cited above which ODI received through mid-November 2021.Note that the Manufacturer reports cited above are customer complaints received through March 2019.
