Buying a used 2021 Kia Stinger? Check these 5 recalls first

5 NHTSA recalls · 17 owner complaints on file · 1 park-outside

The 2021 Kia Stinger has 5 recalls in this group, covering engine compartment fire risk, turbo oil leakage, two fuel pump issues, and inaccurate fuel gauge readings. Park-outside guidance accompanies the engine compartment fire recall. Its 17 NHTSA owner complaints are unverified reports, including 6 under SERVICE BRAKES, 5 under UNKNOWN OR OTHER, 4 under ENGINE, and 3 under FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM. Brake complaints merit a separate maintenance-history review alongside recall documentation. Records include 1 crash, 0 fires, and 0 injuries.

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. Verify engine fire and turbo oil leak repairs and parking guidance.
3. Confirm both fuel pump recall repairs and fuel gauge recall completion.
4. Ask about braking complaints and request related inspection or repair records.
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.
