Description of the problem	My vehicle began excessively using oil, no leak in spring of 2019. Took it service once i documented my oil changes in september. No answers, wanting to do an every 1,000 miles documentation at the dealership. By december, it is giving an engine code p0014, meaning the exhaust camshaft has advanced to much to go to a lower timing. Eventually the passage become clogged and causing oil flow to the phasivers to be restricted - leading to a locked engine. The only fix, a new engine. Although i am still under power train - they request i drive the vehicle 1000 miles for testing before approving however the engine code tells us further drive will lock the engine. Exactly what older models were previously recalled for. With this kia gives you no proper solution and no guarantee to cover.

What is Recall?
A recall is when a product is removed from the market or a correction is made to the product because it is either defective or potentially harmful.
What is Failure?
Failure is the state or condition of not meeting a desirable or intended objective, and may be viewed as the opposite of success. Product failure ranges from failure to sell the product to fracture of the product, in the worst cases leading to personal injury, the province of forensic engineering.
