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

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

Five recalls apply: the critical brake control unit fire risk, which carries park-outside advice, and a critical turbo oil leak fire risk, plus two high-severity fuel pump recalls and a medium fuel gauge accuracy recall. The power steering recall seen on 2020 is not on this year's list. Unverified NHTSA complaints are low at 17, with one crash and no fires or injuries; service brakes lead the areas, followed by engine and fuel/propulsion.

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. Confirm the brake control unit and turbo oil leak recalls are closed, and ask if it was parked outside beforehand
3. Ask whether both fuel pump recalls were performed and if power loss was ever experienced
4. Check brake pedal feel and dash warnings — service brakes lead the complaint areas
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.
