Manufacturer recall repairs are performed free of charge to the vehicle owner when covered by the recall. If a recall applies to your 2025 Kia Seltos, Kia will cover parts and labor; Nalley Kia uses OEM parts and factory-trained technicians to perform the repair at no cost.

Can I get my 2025 Kia Seltos recall fixed at an independent shop or do I need a dealer?
Recall repairs must be performed by an authorized dealer to ensure OEM parts, manufacturer software, and warranty handling are correct. Nalley Kia is a certified Kia franchise; our factory-trained technicians use Kia diagnostic tools and authorized procedures to complete recall repairs properly and free of charge under the manufacturer program.
How long does a 2025 Kia Seltos recall repair take?
