Buying a used 2022 Kia Carnival? Check these 6 recalls first

6 NHTSA recalls · 133 owner complaints on file · 1 park-outside

The 2022 Kia Carnival has 6 recalls in this group. Fuel rail and fuel pipe connection leaks, plus tow hitch wiring fire risk, are the central fire-related concerns; the wiring recall carries a park-outside instruction for affected vehicles. Sliding-door recalls address opening while moving and failure to auto-reverse, while another covers roof molding detachment. The 133 unverified owner complaints include STRUCTURE 32 and ELECTRICAL SYSTEM 22. The record lists 34 injuries without establishing their causes.

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. Request completion records for both fuel-leak recalls.
3. Verify tow hitch wiring recall applicability and park-outside instructions.
4. Request both sliding-door recall records and inspect roof molding attachment.
5. Open recalls are repaired free at any Kia dealer, whoever owns the car — an open recall is a to-do item, not a bill.
