Buying a used 2019 Hyundai Kona Electric? Check these 3 recalls first

3 NHTSA recalls · 54 owner complaints on file · 2 park-outside

Two of the three recalls on this year target the high-voltage battery, which may short out and burn, and both carry a park-outside warning rather than a stop-driving order. The third covers a possible loss of braking power, shared with the Nexo. Owner complaints to NHTSA are unverified reports, and 42 of the 54 filed here fall under electrical system, alongside 2 crashes, 2 fires and 1 injury.

Before you buy

1. Get the 17-character VIN from the seller and run it at nhtsa.gov/recalls. It shows which recalls are still unrepaired on that exact car.
2. Get dealer paperwork showing both battery recall remedies were completed on this VIN
3. Confirm the Kona Electric/Nexo braking-power recall was also performed
4. Have the high-voltage and electrical systems scanned for stored fault codes
5. Open recalls are repaired free at any Hyundai dealer, whoever owns the car — an open recall is a to-do item, not a bill.
