Buying a used 2023 Kia Sorento Phev? Check these 2 recalls first
The 2023 Sorento PHEV has 2 recalls in this group, covering tow-hitch fire risk and rearview camera clips that may break. The tow-hitch campaign includes a park-outside instruction, so its VIN-specific status matters. The 8 owner complaints filed with NHTSA are unverified reports. Electrical system, engine and unknown or other categories each appear in 3 complaints, with fuel/propulsion in 1. The record lists 0 crashes, 0 fires and 0 injuries. Complaint categories may overlap.
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 current park-outside instructions.
- Request camera-clip recall documentation and check the rearview image.
- Ask for electrical, engine and fuel/propulsion repair records.
- Open recalls are repaired free at any Kia dealer, whoever owns the car — an open recall is a to-do item, not a bill.
