5 recalls across 5 model years
The KIA Rondo has 5 recalls spanning the 2007–2014 production run, with the most serious being a fire risk on 2010–2011 models where an engine compartment fire can start while the vehicle is parked or being driven.
The 2010 model year with the 2.4L engine also has a separate engine control module recall where the software can fail to catch developing engine problems, leading to sudden power loss and an inability to restart. The 2014 model year with the 2.0L engine has the same type of engine control module issue, where undetected internal problems can cause sudden power loss or a fire.
Going back to earlier production, 2008–2009 LX and EX models with the 2.4L engine have a fuel pump that can fail to deliver enough fuel, causing hard starting, hesitation, and rough running that can create a crash risk. The 2007 model year has a related fuel pump defect where internal contact wear, worsened by ethanol-blend fuel, can degrade pump performance over time.
