Fuel leak problems in Kia

Thousands of Kia cars are being recalled owing to two separate problems.

A small number of fuel leak problems has resulted in the owners of 6,585 Kia Picantos built between November 2009 and February 2010 being contacted to arrange for the fuel-filler neck to be replaced free. Also, Kia Motors UK is contacting the owners of 468 Cee'd 5-door SW and 3-door models built between April 2008 and March 2009 because of a possible brake problem.

The work will involve the replacement of the brake master cylinder.
