2024 Kia Seltos Complaints

The 2024 Kia Seltos has two recalls of equal seriousness: an electric oil pump that can overheat and catch fire, and side curtain airbags that can deploy without warning.

The oil pump issue stems from a damaged electronic controller in the Idle Stop & Go system, which can cause the pump to overheat and create a fire risk. Separately, a manufacturing error means the side curtain airbags may inflate unexpectedly while driving, which can startle the driver or strike an occupant and raise the risk of a crash or injury.
