I looked at this car that is for sale. It had the classic rod knock. The owner said the dealer said it had 2 bent rods. I have a 2013 Kia Optima so I thought this would be covered under the recall. I went to the dealer and they ran the VIN and it is not covered. The short block (which is the bottom of the engine that gets replaced) is the same as the regular 2.4l engine. The top end (fuel infection, etc.) is different. Kia should recall the hybrids too. The poor guy told me he had to take in his 4 grandkids last year and got a bigger car when this one died and parked it when the dealer said it would cost what it was worth to fix it. COME ON KIA this engine has the same problem because the bottom end is the same!
