Buying a used 2024 Kia Carnival? Check these 2 recalls first
Only two recalls apply to this year: a fuel line connection that can leak gasoline, and roof trim that may fall off. The tow hitch wiring fire recall and the sliding door recalls from earlier years are not on the 2024 list. Complaint volume is modest at 72 unverified NHTSA reports, up somewhat from 2023, with no fires, 11 injuries, and entries spread across unspecified, electrical (16), and engine categories.
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.
- Verify by VIN that the fuel line connection recall has been repaired
- Inspect the roof trim strips for looseness or prior reattachment
- Ask the seller about any electrical faults, the second-largest complaint area for this year
- Open recalls are repaired free at any Kia dealer, whoever owns the car — an open recall is a to-do item, not a bill.
