ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:PROPULSION SYSTEM
A loss of drive power increases the risk of a crash.
3 safety recall campaigns, 1 defect investigation, 28 owner complaints filed with NHTSA.
Complaints are reports from owners of this model year, not findings about any particular vehicle, and a model that sold in large numbers will collect more of them. They are counted here as filed; nothing is inferred from them.
A loss of drive power increases the risk of a crash.
Seats without mounting bolts may not properly restrain an occupant, increasing the risk of injury.
An instrument panel screen that fails to display critical safety information, such as the speedometer or warning lights, can increase the risk of a crash.
Two 2025 KIA EV9s can have entirely different histories, and a recall campaign usually covers a build-date window rather than a whole model year — which a VIN does not encode, so only the door-jamb label settles it. Scanning the VIN adds the decode, the crash tests, the fuel economy and the complaints matched to that exact engine, trim and assembly plant.
