Certain Kia and Hyundai customers have two weeks to see if they benefit from the auto companies’ undisclosed settlement to resolve claims that some vehicles from model years 2010 to 2020 suffer from a defect.

The defect is related to the engine’s connecting rod bearing. This bearing can fail, causing engine seizure, stalling, engine failure, and even engine fires — all of which may not be covered by warranty.
