Buying a used 2023 Kia Sportage Phev? Check these 2 recalls first
The 2023 Kia Sportage PHEV has 2 recalls in this group, both concerning instrument panel or dashboard display failure. Confirm each campaign separately rather than assuming one display repair closes both entries. NHTSA has 16 owner complaints, which are unverified reports, with 0 crashes, 0 fires, and 0 injuries reported. Engine accounts for 4 complaints; vehicle speed control, unknown or other, and electrical system each account for 3. Those complaint categories extend beyond the display issues identified in the recall titles.
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 VIN-specific completion of both display recalls.
- Check the instrument screen for blanking or intermittent operation.
- Ask about engine faults and unexpected speed-control behavior.
- Open recalls are repaired free at any Kia dealer, whoever owns the car — an open recall is a to-do item, not a bill.
