2 recalls covering model years 2025. To check whether your vehicle is affected, look up your 17-character VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls — a recall may apply only to some vehicles of a given year.
A software error can make the display screen behind the steering wheel — the one with your speedometer, warning lights and tire pressure readings — go blank. If it fails, you have no way to see how fast you are going or whether the vehicle is warning you about something. This affects a number of Kia models, including the K4 and Sorento. The dealer can update the software, or the update can be sent to the vehicle over the air, free.
Inside the engine of some 2025 Kia K4 and Sorento vehicles, bolts on the connecting rods — parts that move up and down as the engine runs — may not have been tightened enough when the engine was built. If a bolt works loose, the engine can fail and the vehicle can suddenly lose power while you are driving. Because the damage is inside the engine, Kia dealers will replace the lower engine assembly at no charge.
Complaints owners have filed with NHTSA about the Kia K4. These are unverified reports; better-selling years collect more.
