Kia Recalls — Canada & USA

Kia has 41 models with recall activity in our database, spanning 1994 through 2027. Across those models, 464 recall campaigns are recorded, with roughly 82% falling into the Critical or High tiers under the severity rating system. Critical recalls alone account for 55% of the total, representing 256 campaigns, while High recalls contribute another 123. Those upper tiers cover consequences such as fire risk, loss of vehicle control, and serious injury potential. Medium recalls make up 14% of the record, with Low and Informational classifications accounting for the remaining share at 4% and under 1% respectively.

The Sorento carries the most recall activity in the lineup at 71 campaigns, followed by the Sportage at 53 and the Sedona at 43. Together those three models represent a substantial portion of the overall recall record across the brand's 33-year span in the database. A recent Critical recall affects 2022 Carnival vehicles, where a fuel leak can create the risk of a fire. The lineup's recall history runs from the earliest 1994 coverage through the 2027 model year, reflecting decades of campaigns across sedans, SUVs, and minivans sold under the Kia name.
