Kia Recalls FAQs

Does My Car Have a Recall?
If you’re worried about recalls on your car, learning how to check recalls on your car is quite easy! As long as your Kia is properly registered, you will receive a recall notice directly from the manufacturer. If you want to enquire about a Kia recall on your own, you can check directly on this page. Learning how to check recalls on your car is a breeze since all you need is your VIN (Vehicle Identification Number). This is a 17-digit code that distinguishes your vehicle from any other.
If you drive an older vehicle and you’re asking, “Does my car have a recall?” your VIN may not be as helpful. Your VIN will only pull recall results if the vehicle was produced in the last 15 years.
