cool, glad you did it. So the dealer doesn't complain about non-OEM filter?
I actually just ordered Purolator Boss after seeing your other post
Kinda nice they change it for $10 with parts provided, somehow here it's a flat $35 no matter who provides parte. Or maybe I didnt ask for lower price lol. \
Also, you masked your name but no phone number, just in case you care

Yeah, they're a really down to earth dealership. As long as the filter shows on the manufacturer's website as a replacement part for OEM, There is no issue. They even introduce you to the Technician working on the car in case you have special instructions or questions.
Yeah, ref the phone, i missed it, but thankfully everyone here is pretty mature.

A few weeks ago I noticed this recall applied to my 2011 Sonata with the 2.4L.
After doing some forum searching, it is an ecu re-calibration which throws the car into "limp home mode" when it detects excessive knock.
Mine pings regularly I'm interested in seeing what happens. I have about a year left on the 10 year engine warranty.

Checked oil, full of metal dust. New motor free from the dealer. It took 4 months and had a free rental the whole time.
New to this forum. I have been doing little reading and it appears that Kia and Hyundai has been having rod bearing failures for years on 2.0T & 2.4 going back to 2011.
Same issue on 2018 engines now? How can they not cleaned the crank very well for years?

No it really is just a good PR move that helps them get to failing engines faster (via the "limp home mode") prior to a full "lock up" IF that engine has the defect. Upon getting the update, you get a lifetime engine warranty. The actual engine debris issue was resolved back in 2012 or so. Another factor was lurking however....
I had maintained my Turbo Optima extremely well (bought new) and ran into this problem in Dec '18. I got a new long-block engine with all the improvements (primarily the oil pump/balance shaft assembly that was suspect at not providing proper lubrication and causing excessive connecting rod bearing wear) and an unlimited miles/unlimited time warranty. I've been a very happy camper as a result. Took about a week for them to do the replacement at no charge (including the free rental car).

Just looked up Car complaints & NHTSA for 2017 Kia Sportage and engine failures are coming in including for 2018.
So there is no issue with engine debris in late model 2.0 & 2.5 ?

I don't believe so. Kia seems to want to use 'debris' issue as a way to not admit they had a design problem that ran for several years. Either way, they are providing free replacements with a lifetime engine warranty for all owners. Kinda hard to beat that!
