What's wrong, in plain English

In certain 2022 Kia Sorento vehicles, the pipe that supplies oil to the turbocharger may develop a crack. If it cracks, oil can leak out in the engine compartment. An oil leak near hot engine or exhaust parts, which can act as an ignition source, raises the chance that a fire could start.
