Kia has issued a recall in Australia for its Sorento SUV and Optima midsizer due to potential engine damage.

The carmaker says the 2.4 litre four-cylinder petrol engine may have been subject to machining errors during manufacturing, and that bearings may suffer premature wear as a result.

Prolonged use could eventually result in a ‘knocking’ sound from the engine, and perhaps the ‘Check Engine’ or oil pressure warning lights will illuminate in the instrument cluster.

Further use could see the engine fail suddenly and without further warning, potentially creating a hazard for the vehicle occupants and other road users.
