Buying a used 2023 Kia EV6? Check these 4 recalls first

4 NHTSA recalls · 139 owner complaints on file · 1 park-outside

The 2023 Kia EV6 has 4 recalls in this group: battery fire risk, drive shaft failure, and charging unit problems that may cause power loss. The battery fire recall carries a park-outside instruction. NHTSA lists 139 owner complaints, which are unverified reports, led by electrical systems with 105, fuel/propulsion systems with 30, and power train with 26. Reported outcomes include 2 crashes and 1 fire, with 0 injuries. These reports do not establish that the listed recalls caused those outcomes.

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 battery fire recall completion and park-outside instructions.
3. Request documentation of drive shaft recall completion.
4. Confirm both charging unit recalls are completed and ask about power loss.
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.
