The safety of you and your passengers is our first priority. NHTSA records show 1 recall tied to the fuel injection system where a damaged plastic fuel rail tube on certain Carnival vehicles can leak fuel and increase the risk of a fire. While this specific campaign originally identified certain 2022 Kia Carnival vehicles (recall SC211), owners of the 2026 Kia Carnival should confirm VIN status because fuel system issues present immediate hazards. Leaving this type of recall unaddressed can increase the chance of a fire, create costly downstream damage, and complicate insurance claims. Nalley Kia’s factory-trained technicians use OEM diagnostic tools to identify even subtle fuel system damage and will perform the manufacturer-prescribed inspection and replacement free of charge when required. If you suspect a leak, stop driving and contact our service team or schedule service online—our staff can also advise on towing and immediate safety steps. We also publish rotating service specials to support safe repairs and minimize customer inconvenience.
