KIA SORENTO ( 01/09/2011 – 31/10/2011) DEFECT: The diesel fuel feed pipe that supplies fuel to the high pressure pump may deteriorate prematurely. The customer may initially notice the smell of diesel fuel leaking onto the engine. If the concern is not resolved the rubber hose may harden and crack due to fatigue. This in turn could allow the pipe to leak diesel fuel onto the engine. As with all fuel leaks there is a risk of catching fire.
Remedy
Recall the 24 vehicles that are likely to be affected and replace the fuel feed hose.
