Buying a used 2023 Kia Sportage Phev? Check these 2 recalls first

2 NHTSA recalls · 15 owner complaints on file

A quiet record by comparison. The two recalls on this plug-in are both medium severity and both concern screens going blank, one covering Kia cars and SUVs generally, one specific to the Sportage instrument screen, with no park-outside or stop-driving instruction. NHTSA shows just 15 unverified owner complaints and no reported crashes, fires or injuries. Those reports spread thinly across vehicle speed control, engine, electrical system and unclassified, three each, with no single dominant area.

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. Confirm both instrument and dashboard display recalls are completed on the VIN.
3. Watch the cluster and center screen through a full drive cycle for blanking.
4. Ask about any cruise control or speed-related oddities, given those complaints.
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.
