Known issues on the 2022 Stinger. One recall is on federal record for this model year. It covers turbocharger hoses and plumbing on cars equipped with the 3.3-liter turbo gasoline direct injection engine: the left turbocharger oil feed pipe can leak, and an oil leak in the presence of hot engine components increases risk in the engine compartment. Owners have filed 16 complaints for the year and Kia has issued 33 technical service bulletins.
From tracing an oil weep at the left turbocharger feed line to a routine service interval on either turbo engine, the work stays on Kia's own procedure and the correct specification for your 2022 Stinger.
