The National Highway Traffic Safety Board (NHTSA) has directed that Kia recall certain Stinger and K900 vehicles due to the potential of an engine compartment fire from leaking oil.
The recall impacts 2019-2020 K900, and 2018-2023 Stingers equipped with a 3.3-liter twin-turbo gasoline direct injection engine.
