What's wrong, in plain English
On certain Kia Stinger vehicles, the plunger inside the fuel control valve may get stuck inside the high pressure fuel pump. When this happens, pressure inside the pump can build up too high, a problem the recall calls over-pressurization. This can cause the vehicle to lose drive power, meaning the vehicle's ability to keep moving forward can be affected while it is being driven.
