Common problems with the Kia Picanto
Some problems will only occur after many years of operation, others are related to technical solutions and forced the manufacturer to issue a recall. In the following overview, you will find the most common problems for the Kia Picanto, for which Kia has announced a recall through the EU Rapex system.
