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 battery fire recall status and park-outside instructions.
- Request parking software recall completion records.
- Confirm completion of both charging unit recalls and ask about power loss.
- Open recalls are repaired free at any Kia dealer, whoever owns the car — an open recall is a to-do item, not a bill.
