3.3T Turbo Oil Feed Line Recall 2024

[D.J.]

Yes, I had the appointment to get the turbo line replaced and at same time to do regular maintenance. I still haven’t got the radio antenna fixed, it’s not the fin. I was told that they have to remove the liner to get to it. The part is still on back order.

What they mean by, it's not in the fin?

Is the shark fin harness literally just 4 terminals? Snip the TMU?

Sure is.

Stopped by my dealership today as I was in the area (~35 mi from home) and asked how many they have done and what the timing has been. Service advisor said they had done 3, and advised me to plan to leave it for 2 days. I think I'll be waiting a bit longer...

Just dropped off our stinger at our dealer... said it should be ready this evening!

Can we assume from your lack of posting - that your car was not finished on schedule?

Hopefully I am incorrect.

it was finished on schedule! picked up at 5:30! everything looks great, have driven it now over 200 miles since, coolant level is perfect.

I called and was told the recall would take 5 hours, I went to drop it off yesterday morning and then was told it could take 3 days. So I just called and was told they would call me back with an update. This isn't sounding good?

nope, sounds like either they didn't schedule properly or they ran into issues.

Edit... i misread, i thought you had left it there and they said it would take 3 days to finish . lol.

Yea, my dealer was very knowledgeable about it and when i called about the recall they immediately told me that they would have to place the order for the part for my VIN and once it was in they would schedule it for a day when the stinger tech was available as they could only do one recall a day since they only have one tech trained for it. They called me 3 days later when they got the parts in and had me in and out in 7 hours on my scheduled date!

Everything is fine, as long as you don't leave your car with them while you wait for them to "call you back."

Any of you folks' dealers affected by the CDK shutdown?

I just saw the article that said the cyberattack has affected many Kia dealers so wondering if that is what happened to me since I was told 5 hours to repair but now they couldn't order parts until the car was onsite since its VIN dependent (what I was told), and now told parts won't be in till Monday and it will be ready Monday/Tuesday.

Seems that makes more sense to me than the line of crap they told me yesterday and today. Also told the car will be kept in the back behind locked gates. Its not convenient for me to go and get and then turn around and take back Monday early am, so I'm leaving it there till its ready. Luckily have my wife's car we can use.

I started a new thread on the topic --- Dealers down due to cyberattack

SoCal data point: Kia of Carson seems to have pulled through with a clean recall experience. They said it would take about 3 days, so I dropped my car off Tuesday morning. Got a loaner (Forte GT-Line) and got the text Friday morning that it was done. Picked it up, drove 30 miles back home (w/ plenty of turbo/throttle), and engine temp was stable around 200F-210F. Popped the hood when I got back home, and everything looked/smelled fine. Takes me an hour each way to get there with traffic, but glad I made the trip instead of going to more questionable dealerships closer to me.

Thanks. Hoping the right coast will get it together!

Well mine was a disaster. So they didn’t start working on the car till Tuesday after i dropped it off by appointment last Thursday 9am. Car had to burp overnight and then went and got the car Wednesday. Have driven it about 75 miles and it seems fine. So in total had the car for 6 days and not once did they offer me a loaner or ask how I was getting to work.

When I picked it up the service manager says you will get a survey, if you can’t give us great reviews please don’t do any of it but give us another chance to make it better. I explained to him that had an appointment and the part wasn’t ordered till Friday even though I dropped it off Thursday. Blah blah blah

Glad most of you all got your car back in 1 day. I am waiting till I get like 1000 miles on it before driving it somewhat hard.

Is your coolant level in your overflow reservoir stable? Not decreasing?

Oil level? Did they correctly refill it?

Perhaps there should be a thread with dealer names and experiences.

the oil is good

now this will sound stupid. On all my prior vehicles (Ford) i could easily see the coolant overflow but on this I cant. I think its the thing up front on the right but had to unscrew and remove a long white/clear looking thing. So cant really see with my eye if there is anything in there.

should there be some in there and if so how much? I have only driven it home after picking it up and then yesterday for about 30 miles. The car is cold now but will drive it out today and temps are expected to be in the low-mid 90's

Thanks for your help!

There are 2 lines - low and full.
This is low.


Somewhere in between these lines, when cold, is good..

You should be able to see the level easily. Unless your reservoir is extremely dirty.

If you can't see it, it's probably low.

This is empty!
