According to the automaker's NHTSA filing, the upscale sports hatchback's wiring harnesses in the engine and passenger compartments can make contact with burrs on the left front fender panel, potentially damaging the wiring insulation and triggering a fire.

According to documents related to the recall filing, Kia is aware of at least one fire attributed to the condition. No injuries have been reported.

16,011 examples are affected by the recall campaign.

Kia will begin notifying affected owners on Dec. 20, 2018. Models under the recall will have their wiring harnesses inspected. Damaged harnesses will be repaired and a new cover will be installed. If no damage is discovered, a cover will still be installed. All inspections and repairs will be carried out free of charge to owners.

These are the types of recalls that do not like since they involve electrical fires.

Get ready for a recall. The 2018 models have some issues with the wiring harness in the engine and passenger fenders that may cause a fire.

Has anyone looked or found the wiring location on the left fender where this damage occurs? It would be nice to check it out and make sure there is no damage starting now vs waiting until 12/20 for the recall notice. I would prefer to take a preventive step like temporary electrical tape or even a grommet until then.
