Kia America, Inc. is recalling 18,224 of its 2018-2021 Stinger vehicles due to a defect in the high-pressure fuel pump. A component inside the pump called the fuel control valve plunger can become stuck, which leads to over-pressurization and a sudden loss of drive power while operating the vehicle. To address this safety issue, Kia dealers will update the engine control software and inspect or replace the fuel pump as needed at no cost to the owner.
If the fuel pump fails while the vehicle is in motion, the engine may lose power unexpectedly, which significantly increases the risk of a crash.
