Kia America has 24 recall events, all NHTSA vehicle-safety campaigns — most vehicle-crash hazards, a few fire-related. The campaigns span 2023–2026.
Each row links to the NHTSA campaign page with the VIN lookup and the manufacturer's remedy; the dataset covers model years 2024–2026 only.
How this hub is built. This page collects 24 recall events tied to Kia in the current 411 Press recall dataset. A note on counting. The three agencies package recalls differently. NHTSA issues one record per safety campaign; the CPSC issues one per recall; the FDA issues one per affected product line, so a single FDA recall can appear as dozens of records. Counting raw records would push FDA-heavy brands artificially to the top. The counts here are recall EVENTS — distinct agency events — with the FDA product-line record total shown alongside wherever the two differ. 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. Coverage note for vehicles: this dataset queries NHTSA for model years 2024–2026 only. Recalls on older vehicles exist but are not included here — a 2020 model's recalls are legitimately absent. Check the NHTSA VIN lookup for a vehicle's complete recall history. An event count reflects how much recall activity fell inside the current dataset — not a ranking of relative safety. Larger manufacturers and higher-volume product lines generate more recall activity. 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.
