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 all three fire-related recall repairs and tow-hitch park-outside instructions.
- Confirm loss-of-power recall completion and review powertrain repair history.
- Verify the spare tire specification and camera-clip recall repair.
- Open recalls are repaired free at any Kia dealer, whoever owns the car — an open recall is a to-do item, not a bill.
