What's wrong?
The left turbocharger oil feed pipe and hose assembly on affected 2018-2023 Kia Stinger and K900 vehicles carries engine oil to the left turbocharger. The turbocharger uses exhaust energy to help force more air into the engine, and it needs a steady oil supply to cool and lubricate its spinning parts. The pipe and hose assembly is the oil path between the engine and that turbocharger.
On these vehicles, the hose section sits where radiant heat from the exhaust manifold can age the material. That heat exposure causes the hose to deteriorate. Once the hose breaks down, oil can leak from the feed line instead of reaching the turbocharger as designed. Kia says the replacement part uses a different material that is less susceptible to that deterioration.
Owners can notice an oil leak, a burning smell, white smoke from the engine compartment, or the engine oil pressure warning light. Treat any of those signs as a reason to stop driving and call a Kia dealer.
