Kia Motors America is recalling 10,240 model year 2011 Forte vehicles manufactured August 27, 2010, to November 11, 2010.
The recalled vehicles have a transmission fluid cooler hose that may have been improperly manufactured, resulting in a transmission fluid leak.
If enough transmission fluid leaks out, the transmission may not function properly and the vehicle may stop moving, increasing the risk of a crash.
What to do
Kia will notify owners, and dealers will replace the transmission cooler hose, free of charge. The recall is expected to begin March 30, 2016.
Owners may contact Kia customer service at 1-800-333-4542. Kia's number for this recall is SC129.
