| Description of the problem | We have this initial fuel flow/rod bearings issue with our 2013 kia forte. I have contacted kia and the dealership a number of times, and yet the forte is never included in the recalls. Considering that it was built with the exact same theta ii engine, this seems ridiculous. Https://kfor. Com/2019/01/16/kia-hyundai-issue-new-recall-due-to-engine-fire-risks/?
