Buying a used 2024 Kia Sportage? Check these 3 recalls first
The recall picture is shorter than 2023: one high-severity recall for a sudden loss of power steering assist, plus medium recalls for roof trim that may fall off and an instrument screen that can go blank. None carry stop-driving or park-outside advice. Unverified NHTSA complaints number 68 with 7 crashes, 9 injuries, and no fires. Beyond unspecified issues, electrical system leads, followed by forward collision avoidance and engine — driver-assist behavior is worth a close test drive.
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.
- Confirm the power steering recall remedy was performed and test for heavy or inconsistent steering effort
- Check that the instrument cluster screen wakes reliably and stays on
- Ask whether the forward collision system has ever braked unexpectedly or thrown warnings
- Open recalls are repaired free at any Kia dealer, whoever owns the car — an open recall is a to-do item, not a bill.
