Buying a used 2019 Kia Stinger? Check these 3 recalls first
Three recalls apply: two critical fire risks — the brake control unit, which carries park-outside advice, and a turbo oil leak — plus a high-severity fuel pump flaw that can cause sudden power loss. Unverified NHTSA complaints total 44, with 3 fire reports, 1 crash, and no injuries. Engine and service brakes are nearly tied at the top of the complaint areas, with electrical system and fuel/propulsion behind them. It's a shorter list than 2018's.
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 brake control unit, turbo oil leak, and fuel pump recalls are all closed by VIN
- Check for turbo oil seepage and any smell of burning oil after a drive
- Test the brakes for pedal feel and warning lights — brakes are a leading complaint area
- Open recalls are repaired free at any Kia dealer, whoever owns the car — an open recall is a to-do item, not a bill.
