Known issues on the 2014 Sportage. Three recalls are on federal record for this model year. The first concerns the certification label on vehicles built September 30, 2013 through January 11, 2014, which carries incorrect tire pressure information — maintaining tire pressure below the recommended specification can result in premature tire wear. The second covers the fuel-delivery hoses, lines and fittings on Sportages that previously received an engine replacement under recall 17V-224: a fuel leak in the presence of an ignition source can increase the risk of a fire. The third involves the Hydraulic Electronic Control Unit in the antilock brake and traction control system, which can malfunction and cause an electrical short — an engine compartment fire while parked or driving can increase the risk of injury. Owners have filed 154 complaints for the year and Kia has issued 143 technical service bulletins. The factory diagnostic and repair procedures behind each of those systems are here.

From tracing a fuel odor to inspecting the brake hydraulic module or servicing the turbocharged 2.0L, it keeps you on Kia's own procedure and the correct specification for your specific 2014 Sportage.
