While checking engine oil today, I notice loose black tapes around various wires in the engine compartment. (i.e. they were unwrapped from the wires) 
The tape seemed to be paper based instead of rubber based electrical insulation tapes. Some of them were touching the engine block and I think they could have caught fire! I trimmed them and looked other places for the same. Found few more inside the top engine cover and trimmed them too.
I don't know whether the tapes came loose due to engine heat or whether they were delivered that way from the factory.
Not too happy with Kia quality inspection so far...
