Ok...they are replacing these pinion plugs with a better adhesive.....REALLY ? And adding "set bolt"
for additional security.Why not a bolt to start with ???? Also the ones deemed not "bad " adhesive...shouldn't they get the set bolt too ????
I was.about to purchase one of these.Someone from Kia should contact me right away...or I will definitely look [email protected]

Do you drive a 2016 KIA SOUL?

Just because a car has been recalled does not mean it is not a reliable car. Millions of cars get recalled every year. Recalls often involve problems that are rare but could cause a serious problem if they occur. So the risk to any given driver is often remote, even though there may be a few high-profile incidents traced to the problem.
