Buying a used 2019 Hyundai Kona Electric? Check these 4 recalls first

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

The 2019 Hyundai Kona Electric has 4 recalls in this group: two battery fire campaigns carrying park-outside notices, a braking system issue, and software that may disable the airbag system. Battery campaign documentation is a central part of this vehicle's record, alongside brake and airbag repairs. Its 54 NHTSA owner complaints are unverified reports, including 42 electrical system and 10 fuel/propulsion system complaints. Reported outcomes include 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. Verify both battery recall repairs and any outstanding park-outside instructions.
3. Request proof of braking system recall completion.
4. Confirm airbag software recall completion and ask about electrical warnings.
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.
