Buying a used 2024 Kia EV6? Check these 3 recalls first
The shortest EV6 recall list: the battery-cell fire recall with its park-outside advisory, plus the two charging unit recalls for loss of drive power that have followed the model since 2022. Neither the roll-away nor the drive shaft recall applies to this year. Of 74 unverified owner complaints, electrical accounts for 52, with power train (16) and fuel/propulsion (15) next. Relative to that volume, 6 crashes, 1 fire, and 3 injuries were reported.
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.
- Confirm the charging unit recalls were performed and ask about any charging or drive-power failures
- Verify the battery-cell fire recall remedy on this VIN before purchase
- Ask about any electrical faults or warning lights, by far the largest complaint area here
- Open recalls are repaired free at any Kia dealer, whoever owns the car — an open recall is a to-do item, not a bill.
