Today’s featured recall involves the 2021-2024 Kia K5.
Kia is recalling about 250,547 units of the 2021–2024 K5 because a damaged check valve may allow air into the fuel tank. This can cause the tank to expand and touch hot exhaust components, potentially melting the tank and creating a fire risk. Dealers will replace the check valve and inspect the fuel tank, replacing it if needed, at no cost to owners. Notification letters are expected to be sent January 16, 2026. VINs will be searchable on the NHTSA website beginning December 1, 2025.
