The last pdf is the meat. Appears to affect 18-21 2.0L models.

All 2018-2021 model year Stinger vehicles equipped with a 2.0L Turbo Gasoline
Direct Injection (T-GDI) Theta II engine manufactured from September 29, 2017
through January 20, 2021.
The recall population was determined by a review of vehicle production and supplier
records. The vehicles subject to this recall were not produced in VIN order.
Customers seeking information about their specific vehicle will be referred to Kia’s
Consumer Assistance Center or their Kia dealer.

Misalignment of the fuel control valve plunger in the high pressure fuel pump
can result in uneven wear. Overtime, this wear can cause the plunger to remain
in a stuck open condition. If the plunger remains in the stuck open condition,
over-pressurization of the high pressure fuel pump can occur and may
potentially result in the loss of motive power while driving at highway speeds.
