Buying a used 2022 Kia Sorento Hybrid? Check these 4 recalls first

4 NHTSA recalls · 12 owner complaints on file · 1 park-outside

Four recalls, and three are safety-significant: tow hitch wiring fire risk, with Kia advising outdoor parking, plus two separate seat belt tensioner campaigns, one for the front tensioner and one for crash deployment. A backup camera image failure is the minor item. Complaint volume is very low, 12 unverified owner reports with no crashes or injuries and one fire reported, spread across electrical system, engine, power train and vehicle speed control. Two belt campaigns make the recall paperwork worth reading closely.

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 both seat belt tensioner recalls are closed for this VIN, not just one
3. Test the backup camera image from a cold start and after washing
4. Ask about the tow hitch wiring repair and whether the car has towed
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.
