1 Engine Head Gasket Leaking problem

Failure Date: 02/26/2020

My engine started blowing smoke when driving out with my family. I took it to kia dealership and they said that both the front timing cover and the oil pan gasket had a leak and that they needed to be replaced. My car had an engine recall done by them on which during manufacturing there were metals shards that spread through the engine. I also read this engine (theta 2) was involved in cases were the engine caught on fire for no apparent reason. This is a safety concern and their engines should be warrantied for a longer time. I'm attaching the invoice for the repairs done.
