The federal safety agency recall number: 20v‑518. I own a 2019 kia stinger gt2 and I've had major issues and a recent 'interim' safety recall letting me know the engine can catch fire and I shouldn't drive it and should leave it outside (not in my garage) and wait until they send me another letter and have a fix. It's been weeks without the use of my car. When I contacted my local dealership, they claimed not to know anything about the recall. In the meantime I read today there's another engine fire associated issue with the fuel pump. So far no recall and I had to look up the bulletin online.

Page 2 of 2: complaints 11 to 13 of 13, newest first, as owners wrote them.
Received a recall notice for my vehicle, stating that there is a major issue with the engine, and they are prone to catching fire - and that the vehicle should be parked outside. I contacted my dealership to ask for any other information, and was specifically told to bring my car in to their dealership (where I purchased the car brand new just a year prior). Upon arriving at the dealership, I was told that there was nothing that could be done, and I should drive my flammable, 2019 vehicle home. The vehicle has not exploded yet, but I'm cautious to drive it now, for fear of burning alive on my way to work any given morning. This dealership has caused me nothing but grief over the short time I've owned this vehicle, and the issues continue to stack up.
