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 tow-hitch recall completion and applicable park-outside instructions.
- Confirm all VIN-applicable pretensioner and camera-clip recall repairs.
- Ask about electrical faults, powertrain issues and speed-control concerns.
- Open recalls are repaired free at any Kia dealer, whoever owns the car — an open recall is a to-do item, not a bill.
