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 power steering and instrument panel recall completion.
- Inspect roof molding and request its recall repair record.
- Ask about engine warnings and forward collision avoidance malfunctions.
- Open recalls are repaired free at any Kia dealer, whoever owns the car — an open recall is a to-do item, not a bill.
