Detroit. not paying attention to the stop of the government, Hyundai and Kia are moving forward with a recall within 168 000 cars in order to straighten the delemu with the fuel line, which has the ability to cause engine fires. The discrepancy is due to incorrect repair in past reviews due to engine failures.

Affiliated Korean automakers were persecuted by claims for fire and engine failure from all over the state. They are both present under investigation by the US state highway traffic protection Administration, which is trying to find out whether the initial reviews covered a sufficient number of vehicles. But the Agency in the lead is closed due to closure.

In addition to reviews of any automaker talking, in fact he will create a “campaign for improving the product”, which combines the difficulties of 3.7 million vehicles, in order to introduce a software offering that will warn drivers about possible malfunctions of the motor and send the car to a lower speed “limp”, if it will become constraints have been identified.

NHTSA employees who conduct security investigations and withdraw notices do not work. Under normal circumstances, the Agency will consider the review in order to ensure their adequacy, and have detailed information on the Agency's website. He will still keep under control the notice for buyers, and make sure that the buyers actually have a good chance to find out if their transport methods are integrated.

Kia Commissioner James bell said, in fact, that the company continues to review and campaign autonomously from government delays.

"It is much more important to make our customers comfortable than to observe additional government processes right now,” he said. Kia sent messages to dealers in the Yang region. He said he was actually notifying them of the recall.

But the lawyer of protection of cars in the USA called the review inadequate and declared, actually that campaigns for improvement of a product are obliged to be responses which are controlled by NHTSA instead of this.

A spokesman for the NHTSA said, in fact, that is not able to explain because of the shutdown.

Hyundai and Kia began to recall 1.7 million cars in 2015-about 618,000 of which are considered Kias – due to the fact that the actual production of litter has the ability to limit the flow of oil to the connecting rod bearings. This has the ability to lead to wear and failure of the bearings of 2-liter and 2.4-liter four-cylinder engines. The discrepancy still has the ability to cause fires. Repair in many cases is considered an expensive replacement of the cylinder block.

Now firms confirm, in fact, that the replacement of the motor, it is likely, was not made in a suitable way in all cases by dealers. In a statement, Kia says, in fact that the fuel line of the highest pressure, it is likely, was damaged, shifted or incorrectly tightened during the substitution of engines in the recall. This has the ability to lead to fuel leakage and hit the passionate details of the engine, causing fires.

Kia talks, in fact he's got 6 notifications of fires among vehicles recalled for a possible fuel spillage, while Handy talks, in fact he had no fire warning. None of the firms had reports of injuries.

Fuel injector pipe remember, covers some 2011 through auto Kia Optima 2014, 2012 to 2014 Sorrento jeeps, and from 2011 to 2013 Sportage SUV, all with 2-liter and 2.4-liter four-cylinder engines. Still covered are almost all 2011 to 2014 Hyundai Sonata cars and 2013 and 2014 Santa Fe sports jeeps.

More than 2 million sonatas from 2011 to 2018 model years and Santa Fe sports from 2013 to 2018 are covered by software and engine knock sensor updates. Within 1.7 million kias, covering 2011 to 2018 Optima, 2012 to 2018 Sorento and 2011 to 18 Sportage covered.

Firms talk, in fact that the owners of recalled cars will be notified by the message. Dealers will find out the fuel line for the presence of leaks and if necessary, change it.

Kia is only just preparing an amendment to 68,000 of its own 618,000 cars recalled for tasks with the engine, while Hyundai is Recalling 100,000 of more than 1 million. Handai said, in fact, that only the car, which were changed engines in past reviews, gripped by a fresh review.

Jason Levine, Executive Director of the nonprofit auto security center, said that Kia actually limited the final review to a relatively small number of cars without the following comments grounds, raising more questions than answers. He said, in fact, that some buyers complained of fires in vehicles that were not integrated in the reviews of the engine repair.

He also expressed concern about the pretext of the impact of the government shutdown on NHTSA, which, according to him, should not be closed to critical security responses.

“This is the true scenario when you have to be people of security and coercion who come and do their own work,” he said.

The final review posted on the NHTSA website is dated December. 18, 4 days before the blackout. The Agency said, in fact, that it “may withdraw unemployed employees if NHTSA is aware of the information relating to discontinued functions that are associated with specific risks to the protection of human life or the defense of property.”
