Buying a used 2023 Kia Sorento? Check these 3 recalls first
The 2023 Sorento has 3 recalls in this group, covering blower motor wiring fire risk, an airbag warning label that may detach and rearview camera clips that may break. The wiring campaign is the most consequential listed recall, while the label and camera hardware need their own completion records. NHTSA lists 128 owner complaints, which are unverified reports, including 40 electrical, 32 engine and 23 power train complaints. The record includes 3 crashes, 2 fires and 3 injuries.
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.
- Request proof of blower-motor wiring recall completion.
- Confirm warning-label and camera-clip recall repairs.
- Review electrical, engine and powertrain fault and repair histories.
- Open recalls are repaired free at any Kia dealer, whoever owns the car — an open recall is a to-do item, not a bill.
