Buying a used 2024 Kia EV9? Check these 7 recalls first

7 NHTSA recalls · 207 owner complaints on file · 1 park-outside

As a first-model-year vehicle, the EV9 has a long list: a critical loss-of-drive-power recall, the shared battery-cell fire recall with a park-outside advisory, a front passenger seat belt that may not lock, and missing second- and third-row seat bolts. Three medium items cover headliner crash protection, remote parking distance judgment, and a dashboard display that can blank from a software bug. 207 unverified owner complaints skew electrical (102), with forward collision avoidance (24) also prominent; 2 fires and 4 injuries reported.

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. Have the seat bolt and passenger seat belt recalls verified as completed, and check every row's belts and anchors
3. Confirm the drive-power and battery fire recalls are closed, and ask whether software updates for the blank display were applied
4. On the test drive, watch the dashboard display and driver-assist behavior, including any remote parking feature
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.
