Because I was away from home, I stayed overnight and the next morning took the vehicle to a Kia dealership for inspection.  The dealership inspected the vehicle and diagnosed a problem with the exhaust heat recovery system pipe. According to the service department, coolant is leaking internally through this component and is being burned in the exhaust system. The cooling system was pressure tested and held pressure externally, indicating the coolant loss is occurring internally through the exhaust heat recovery system rather than from an external leak.  This condition can cause coolant loss and overheating while driving. If the engine overheats while the vehicle is in operation, it could create a safety risk due to sudden loss of power or engine damage. The dealership confirmed the diagnosis after inspection and testing and provided a repair estimate to replace the affected exhaust heat recovery system component.  The overheating warning message was the first symptom observed prior to diagnosis. The problem was confirmed by the dealership after inspection and testing.  This issue may indicate a defect in the exhaust heat recovery or thermal management system used in this hybrid vehicle, as coolant is entering the exhaust stream internally rather than leaking externally. If this type of failure occurs in other vehicles, it could lead to overheating while driving and potential engine damage.","products":[{"type":"Vehicle","productYear":"2019","productMake":"KIA","productModel":"NIRO","manufacturer":"Kia America, Inc."}]}]}
