Hi,
KIA recalled some 2003 Sorentos for the following reason. It is possible that your model falls within that category.

Recalls

Transport Canada Recall Number: 2005244; Units affected: 738

2003: Certain vehicle may experience a fuel leak from the main fuel tube and/or the return tube near the fuel tank due to interference (insufficient clearance) with the vehicle frame. A fuel leak, in the presence of an ignition source, could result in a fire. Correction: Dealers will replace the fuel tubes.

Used vehicle prices vary depending on factors such as general condition, odometer reading, usage history and options fitted. Always have a used vehicle checked by an experienced auto technician before you buy.
