If you want immediate help, you can schedule service with Nalley Kia for a free recall inspection.
How do I check if my 2022 Kia Sportage has an open recall?

Nalley Kia also posts limited-time offers under our service specials that may apply to non-recall maintenance.
Can I get my 2022 Kia Sportage recall fixed at an independent shop or do I need a dealer?
Recall repairs must be performed by a manufacturer-authorized dealer to ensure OEM parts, proper software updates, and warranty tracking; we strongly recommend using a certified Kia dealer. Nalley Kia is a factory-authorized Kia dealer with factory-trained technicians, OEM diagnostic tools, and Kia-approved parts to ensure the recall is remedied to manufacturer standards. If you use an independent shop, the repair may not be recognized by Kia for warranty or safety-tracking purposes; for safety and documentation, bring your vehicle to Nalley Kia to have recalls addressed and recorded.

How long does a 2022 Kia Sportage recall repair take?
Most recall repairs for the issues listed (fuel-pipe inspection/replacement, fuse replacement and HECU software updates, label correction, trailer harness replacement) are completed within a few hours, but time varies by campaign and parts availability. Nalley Kia will provide a more accurate estimate when we verify your VIN and the specific open campaigns; some engine inspections or replacements may take longer if an engine replacement is required under the campaign. To minimize downtime, please schedule an appointment and we will confirm expected turnaround and loaner options if available. We prioritize safety recalls and will work to get you back on the road quickly and safely.
Does an open recall affect my 2022 Kia Sportage's trade-in or resale value?

Recall Service & Dealership Highlights

Safety Risks You Can99t Ignore
