Before you buy
- 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.
- Request proof of fuel pipe connection recall completion.
- Verify roof molding recall completion and secure attachment.
- Ask about electrical faults, engine symptoms, and steering concerns.
- Open recalls are repaired free at any Kia dealer, whoever owns the car — an open recall is a to-do item, not a bill.
