Known issues on the 2013 Forte Koup. One recall is on federal record for this model year. It covers the hydraulic antilock brake and traction control system, where an engine compartment fire while parked or driving can increase the risk of injury. The same campaign lists other Kia models, among them the Borrego, Cadenza, Forte, Sportage, K900, Optima, Optima Hybrid, Soul and Rio, with the Forte Koup covered for 2010 through 2013. Owners have filed 22 complaints for the year and Kia has issued 30 technical service bulletins. The factory diagnostic and repair procedures behind those systems are here.
From an inspection of the antilock brake hydraulics to a scheduled service on the 2.4L or 2.0L four-cylinder, it keeps you on Kia's own procedure and the correct specification for your 2013 Forte Koup.
