Recall 00V175000: Fuel Filler Spitback

Manufacturing changes were made to the ORVR spring force and float wire length reducing the valve angle. Certain valves caused fuel shut off before the tank reached 95% of nominal capacity.

This would cause customers to add more fuel to the tank causing fuel spillback or spitback from the fuel filler neck.

Dealers will replace the ORVR valve.

Owner notification is expected to begin during July/August 2000. Owners who take their vehicles to an authorized dealer on an agreed upon service date and do not receive the free remedy within a reasonable time should contact Kia at 1-800-333-4542. Also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration's Auto Safety Hotline at 1-888-DASH-2-DOT (1-888-327-4236).
