Buying a used 2024 Kia Seltos? Check these 2 recalls first

2 NHTSA recalls · 44 owner complaints on file · 1 park-outside

This year carries two critical recalls that are unrelated to each other: the oil pump overheating issue, where Kia advised parking outside until repaired, and side airbags that may deploy unexpectedly. Owner complaints number 44 and are unverified reports, led by electrical system with engine and power train behind it, and including four crashes, one fire and two injuries. The airbag recall is the distinctive item for this year; the oil pump campaign is shared across several Kia models.

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. Get VIN-specific recall status for both the oil pump and side airbag remedies
3. Ask whether the airbag warning light has ever illuminated or been reset
4. Check electrical basics: infotainment, charge ports, lighting, power accessories
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.
