 Kia recalls over 250,000 vehicles due to risk of fuel tank melting

Kia is recalling over 250,000 vehicles due to a defect that could cause fuel tanks to melt.

The recall, announced by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration on Nov. 17, affects 2021–2024 Kia K5 models built at the Kia Georgia plant between Mar. 27, 2020, and Jan. 23, 2024. The issue only involves vehicles equipped with the 1.6L turbocharged gasoline direct injection engine; 2025 K5 models are not affected.

The problem stems from the purge control system check valve, which directs airflow from the charcoal canister to the engine. Over time, the valve may deteriorate, allowing pressurized air from the intake manifold into the fuel tank. This can cause the tank to expand and contact hot exhaust components, potentially melting the tank and creating a fuel leak, which increases the risk of fire.

Warning signs can include a popping sound from the fuel tank area, a check engine light, or a vehicle running roughly. Kia dealers will inspect and replace the check valve for free, and if necessary, replace the fuel tank.

Owners of affected vehicles will receive notification by mail starting Jan. 16, 2026. Kia’s recall reference number is SC356, and questions can be directed to the company’s customer service line at 800-333-4542.
