| Description of the problem | While driving van, smelled fuel. Went into a store and later returned to drive vehicle home and van heavily smelled of fuel. When i checked the engine after returning home , fuel was raining from the fuel injector rail. Immediately brought the van to a mechanic who informed us the fuel rail rod had split down a weld seam and was covering the engine in fuel. He had never seen this issue before in all his years as a mechanic. Issue is currently a recall on other kia/hyundai models but not this specific model. |
