## Narrative
The recall on the catalytic converter literally happened to my car that caused piston and oil tank damage resulting in a new engine, but Kia will not replace the catalytic converter, even though they just told me that it is damaged and caused the damage of the engine. Instead they want 3 grand for a recall that falls under my car year, and won't acknowledge the recall because it was issued in 2019 and not open to me at the time because I was not the owner. This exact reason for recall is literally what happened to my car.
