A pipe feeding oil to the turbocharger in the Kia Stinger and K900 can't stand up to the head of the exhaust manifold
Kia is recalling 36,248 Stingers and K900s in the United States over fears that a pipe feeding oil to the turbocharger could suffer heat damage, allowing the flammable liquid to leak onto a hot surface and combust. The problem affects 2019-2020 Kia K900s and 2018–2022 Stingers equipped with the 3.3-liter turbocharged V6 and was first identified in June. The automaker received a report from its home market, Korea, in which a driver saw smoke coming from the engine compartment of their vehicle.

That can lead to melting, cracking, and, ultimately, an oil leak.
