1 Other Fuel System Pump problem

Failure Date: 05/07/2020

I brought my 2016 kia Sorento in the dealer for check engine light (code p0172). After the evaluated it, they said the fuel pump and fuel lines need to be replaced because it's leaking fuel into the engine and the engine needs an oil change because the oil is diluted with fuel. They said the fuel pump and fuel line is covered under the warranty but the oil change isn't. This fuel system issue is every similar to the recalls that were reported on January 17, 2019 but my car didn't fall under the recall. Could this be part of the recall?.

2 Other Fuel System Pump problem

Failure Date: 08/27/2018

While entering highway vehicle would not pick up speed. Engine would rev slowly. Pulled over shut vehicle down and restarted it and the problem resolved. Contacted dealer and was told to bring it in. Took to dealer and it had a high pressure fuel pump history code. Was told that if that pump fails it would cause what I experienced. Since pump was now working they couldn't replace it per kia policy. I asked again why they wouldn't just replace it if was such a safety problem and they stated they couldn't under warranty unless it failed, which would mean being stranded on the side of the road or crashed into.
