After looking through the attachments on this NHTSA link: 2019 KIA STINGER 4 DR AWD
The reports show that the 6 fires reported have been on 2019 GT or GTS models. (Those are the 3.3t models with No smart cruise control). But looks like they’re recalling all 2019 3.3t models starting on October 26th, Awesome news.
Thanks everyone this is great information. 2019 GT2 owner here, got it new in March. It just so happens that my first oil change (free for life, Smithtown NY KIA dealer thing) is coming up tomorrow.
It’s my first time getting the car serviced, and my first ever Kia service trip, so I’m intrigued as to their service capabilities (I’ve heard it’s so-so) and what they have to say about this recall.
I can’t open the PDF on my phone at this moment, does anyone know exactly where the wiring issue occurs in the electrical harness on 2019 3.3s? And whether or not this is essentially the same issue as the recalled 2018s, they’ve just now realized it’s for the 2019 as well? Thanks

Unrelated to the 2018 recall. That one was a wiring harness on the driver side.
Even Kia doesn’t know where this one is yet. Supposedly somewhere under the passenger side fuse box but no fix yet. So no point taking it to then yet until they have a fix.
Until they know what it is though I can’t see how they can be confident in that figure. If it’s a wiring issue it could happen to any car if conditions are right. That number is based on cars burnt to date. I’d rather not have mine be number 7.

They don't even have a solution for it. I would take thst number with a grain of salt and considering were talking about cars catching on fire let's not play the damage control game here.

I was simply pointing out that this is not a significantly large problem. We're almost into 2021. Six vehicles catching fire is not a model curse. But we already know how looking at statistics and rationally judging the likelihood of danger isn't humanity's strong suit. Hah.

Our stingers based on “statistics” are more likely to catch fire than we are from dying of COVID. Guess I should stop driving it completely and lock it in my garage ..
The NHTSA website is pretty easy to navigate as well. Also they haven’t issued this recall yet so no ones going to have the Brake/fire recall under their VIN.
