I brought it to Martin Kia in Newark, Delaware, but they refused to perform the recall stating that since the vehicle is owned by a used car dealer, the recall is not applicable. They also provided a written statement saying that the extended warranty does not apply because I am a dealer, and that they will not perform any recall work until the vehicle is owned by a \u201ccustomer.\u201d  However, federal law requires all safety recalls to be completed free of charge, regardless of the vehicle\u2019s current ownership status or whether it is owned by a dealership. This is a safety issue and refusal to perform recall work puts future drivers at risk.  I have attached the letter they gave me for your reference.  I kindly request your urgent review of this case and enforcement action to ensure the dealership complies with federal recall obligations.","products":[{"type":"Vehicle","productYear":"2018","productMake":"KIA","productModel":"OPTIMA","manufacturer":"Kia America, Inc."}]}]}
