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

2 NHTSA recalls · 47 owner complaints on file · 1 park-outside

The 2024 Kia Seltos has 2 recalls in this group, covering an oil pump fire risk with a park-outside instruction and side air bags that may deploy unexpectedly. Both call for VIN-specific repair confirmation. Electrical system concerns lead the 47 unverified NHTSA owner complaints with 18 reports, followed by unknown or other at 9, engine at 8, and power train at 6. Reported outcomes include 4 crashes, 1 fire, and 2 injuries, without establishing a connection to the listed recalls.

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 oil pump recall completion and applicable park-outside instructions.
3. Confirm completion of the unexpected side air bag deployment recall.
4. Ask about electrical faults and review engine or power train repair records.
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.
