A spokesperson at Kia said, "At Kia Motors, we follow a regular practice of upgrading products. Based on the feedback received from customers and various sources, necessary improvements are made keeping customers in mind. For vehicles already on road, a communication/guideline is released to the dealers with details of the inspection process and repairs to be carried out. The recent communication involves inspection of the fuel pump and in case of any observation, the dealer is required to carry out repair/replacement as the case may be. We haven't announced a recall, it is basically a Service Action Campaign being done on Kia cars to ensure our customers do not face any inconvenience."
