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 recall status, park-outside instructions, and differential bolt repairs.
- Request seat belt, ceiling lining, and rear seat bolt recall records.
- Verify screen and remote parking updates; ask about collision-avoidance and suspension faults.
- Open recalls are repaired free at any Kia dealer, whoever owns the car — an open recall is a to-do item, not a bill.
