SEPTEMBER 2008 --
Kia is recalling 6,680 MY
2008-2009 Rondo LX and EX vehicles equipped
with a 2.4 liter engine. The fuel pump may
not operate properly resulting in not enough
fuel getting to the engine. Poor engine
starting, engine hesitation and other
impairment may result, and the check engine
light may illuminate. Unusually severe
impairment while driving could expose the
driver to the risk of a crash. Dealers will
replace the fuel pump sub-assembly with an
improved part. The recall is expected to
begin during October 2008. 08V459
