Kia America has 24 records, all NHTSA vehicle-safety recalls. Twenty classify as vehicle-crash hazards, with a few fire-related items. The notices span 2023 through 2026, heaviest in 2024.
This is an NHTSA-only hub. Each row links to the NHTSA campaign page with the VIN lookup and the manufacturer's remedy.
How this hub is built. This page collects the 24 recall records tied to Kia America in the current 411 Press recall dataset. Records are grouped by a normalized version of the recalling firm's name (normalizer version 2026-07-28.C3.2). Parent, subsidiary, and "doing business as" relationships are not merged unless the agency data states them, so a corporate family can appear under more than one name. Regulator for these records: NHTSA. They were published 2023–2026. A recall count reflects how much recall activity fell inside the ingestion window — roughly February 2023 through May 2026, refreshed late May 2026 — not a ranking of relative safety. Larger manufacturers and higher-volume product lines file more notices. This is the current dataset, not an all-time total, and it grows as new notices are ingested. Every row links to the original agency notice.
