The car manufacturer Kia is to recall two of its models in the UK due to fears of fuel leak and brake problems.

If either problem were to cause any road accidents then compensation claims could be brought against the manufacturer.

The company has contacted owners of Picantos built between November 2009 and February 2010 following reports of leaks and also owners of certain models of the cee’d because of reported problems with the brakes.

A Kia spokesman said: “It’s not that the brakes failed to operate but are not working at peak effectiveness. We’re not aware of a single accident in the UK because of this.” The company is offering free parts replacements to owners.
