This notification is purely informative for the vehicle type you have selected. As these deficiencies often relate to specific components (engine type, bodywork, equipment), the recall may not apply to all vehicles of this type. For more detailed information on possible recalls for your vehicle, please get in touch with an authorised workshop (see below at "What the owner should do?").
Check the vehicle against European and global databases and get a comprehensive overview of its damage records, true mileage, listing and photo history, origin and age, service history, and any records of financing, theft, or use as a taxi. Learn more.
Please note that the recall may not apply to all vehicles produced in a given period. If you think your car might be affected, you should immediately contact a Kia dealer or workshop officially authorised to perform repairs on behalf of the manufacturer and ask for the details. You can use our sample request text. After reporting the vehicle's VIN code, you will find out if the defect is present on your car, or if it has already been resolved by the previous owner if the car was purchased second-hand.
