A fire increases the risk of injury.
7 safety recall campaigns, 1 defect investigation, 341 owner complaints filed with NHTSA.
Complaints are reports from owners of this model year, not findings about any particular vehicle, and a model that sold in large numbers will collect more of them. They are counted here as filed; nothing is inferred from them.
A fire increases the risk of injury.
Seats without mounting bolts may not properly restrain an occupant, increasing the risk of injury.
An instrument panel screen that fails to display critical safety information, such as the speedometer or warning lights, can increase the risk of a crash.
A remote smart parking assist feature that miscalculates stopping distances may increase the risk of a crash.
A headliner with inadequate impact protection increases the risk of injury during a crash.
A seat belt retractor that does not operate as intended increases the risk of injury in a crash.
Two 2024 KIA EV9s can have entirely different histories, and a recall campaign usually covers a build-date window rather than a whole model year — which a VIN does not encode, so only the door-jamb label settles it. Scanning the VIN adds the decode, the crash tests, the fuel economy and the complaints matched to that exact engine, trim and assembly plant.
