Detroit: Kia is recalling nearly 295,000 vehicles in the U.S. because the engines can stall or catch fire. Kia says in documents posted Saturday by the U.S. government that no manufacturing defect has been found, but it's recalling the vehicles to mitigate any risk of fire. The recall comes after the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration began investigating Kia and Hyundai engine fires in 2019. Kia must pay $27 million and invest $16 million on safety performance measures. Another $27 million payment will be deferred as long as Kia meets safety conditions, the NHTSA said.
