Buying a used 2019 Kia Sedona? Check these 2 recalls first
The 2019 Sedona carries the same high-severity airbag recall as the prior year — airbags may not deploy — plus a middle seat belt buckle installed on the wrong side. Neither is flagged stop-driving or park-outside. Its 37 NHTSA owner complaints are unverified reports spread across engine (10) and structure (9), with electrical and powertrain behind; the file records two crashes, one fire, and five injuries.
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 airbag deployment recall was completed for this VIN
- Check the middle-row seat belt buckles are on the correct sides and latch properly
- Ask for engine maintenance records and inspect body panels and seams for damage
- Open recalls are repaired free at any Kia dealer, whoever owns the car — an open recall is a to-do item, not a bill.
