Years on file

Kia Motors America has filed 41 recall campaigns with NHTSA between February 14, 2020 and August 1, 2022, covering up to 3,697,924 vehicles in total. The system it has been back to most is electrical system, named in 6 of them (15%). The busiest year was 2021, with 15 campaigns.

A vehicle covered by two campaigns is counted in both, so the total above is a sum of campaign populations and not a count of distinct vehicles. Campaigns where the manufacturer had not yet reported a population contribute nothing to it.

A recall covers a production range, not every vehicle of the model. Your own VIN is the only answer for a specific vehicle, and it shows every open recall on it rather than one campaign at a time.
