Just for information:
Today I received a letter from Kia stating my vehicle (1.7 CRDI ECO) March 2011 will require the Vacuum pump to bereplaced.
I have not noticed any problem with engine power or braking efficiency, and no warning light. has anyone else had this letter from Kia?

Hello. Yes. Mine was done at the service a few weeks ago. They check and replace. No problems.

hi Cockneysparrow My 17 Eco went in last Friday to the dealer on the recall like you I had not had any trouble.They had the sports for 4 hours and even wash it , I will keep my eye on now just in case but I still think its great car

If you search this forum, you will find a lot of discussion about brake failure - it seems to be linked to the 1.7 vacuum pump. Rather a worthwhile replacement, it seems.

I received the exact same letter 2 weeks after my 1st service


Had the vacuum pump replaced and everything seems fine



The garage service team told me that they only found errors and warnings on less than 5% of cars but still did the recall so fair play
