NHTSA closes probes into Kia Sorento
The Detroit News reports that the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has concluded its investigations into the Kia Sorento without ordering either automaker to issue a recall. NHTSA had received 18 complaints of fuel spilling from the filler port on certain 2003-2004 Kia Sorento models. Kia found the vehicles’ fuel evaporation system featured a canister filter that could become clogged over time. As a result, excess pressure could build up in the fuel tank, causing gasoline to regurgitate back out of the filler neck. The canister requires regular service, but isn’t mentioned in the owner’s manual. According to The Detroit News, Kia has agreed to conduct a service campaign involving around 86,000 2003-2004 Sorento models.
