Known issues on the 2015 Forte5. One recall is on federal record for this model year. It covers the engine: across certain 2012-2015 Forte and Forte Koup vehicles, an engine compartment fire increases the risk of injury. Owners have filed 320 complaints for the year, while no technical service bulletins are logged for it.
Whether the job in front of you is an under-hood inspection prompted by that engine recall, work on the 1.6L turbo or the 2.0L four, or an ordinary service interval, it holds you to Kia's own procedure and the correct specification for your specific 2015 Forte5.
