Kia is recalling more than 137,000 of its vehicles due to a potential issue that can damage the vehicle's engine, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) is reporting. Federal safety regulators published the recall after learning the piston oil rings may have been manufactured incorrectly, which can result in engine failure.

Kia’s latest recall affects its Seltos and Soul compact SUVs and is prompted by engine damage that could result in a stall or fire.
