Known issues on the 2024 Carnival. Two recalls are on federal record for this model year. The first concerns the roof and pillar structure: the roof molding may loosen and detach, and a detached roof molding can create a road hazard for other vehicles, increasing the risk of a crash. The second concerns the gasoline fuel delivery lines and fittings: fuel may leak at the pipe connection between the fuel pipe and fuel rail, and a fuel leak increases the risk of a fire. Owners have filed 87 complaints for the year and Kia has issued 48 technical service bulletins. The factory diagnostic and repair procedures behind each of those systems are here.

Whether you are checking a fuel pipe connection, resecuring a roof molding or working through a scheduled service on the V6, it keeps you on the OEM procedure and the correct specification for your specific 2024 Carnival.
