Buying a used 2018 Kia Sedona? Check these 3 recalls first

3 NHTSA recalls · 48 owner complaints on file

Three recalls are open on the 2018 Sedona: airbags that may not deploy, a power sliding door that may not auto-reverse, and wiring that may cause the passenger airbag to deploy wrongly. None is flagged stop-driving or park-outside. Owner complaints to NHTSA total 48 — unverified — and lead with engine (21) and electrical (11), areas no listed recall covers. Four fires and one injury appear in that file.

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 all three recalls, including both airbag-related items, are closed
3. Cycle each power sliding door and test that it reverses on an obstruction
4. Ask for engine service records and check for oil leaks or burning smells
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.
