Kia is replacing the engine of my 2011 Optima SX. They're also telling me the turbo is bad, but that it's not covered by the recall. Should I be having to pay for the turbo?

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

As stated in the subject line. Car has ~115K miles.

1 Answer

Read your warranty (if any) and the recall to see what they cover. The turbo is not part of the engine. It is a separate component.
